Our users have requested a way to limit a search to

(Other folks have suggested this too, e.g.,
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_talk:Multi-Category_Search#Extensio….)
Before trying to build this as an extension, are there any plans for
core MediaWiki to offer this basic& useful capability? Say, on each
category page, displaying a search box to "search this category
only?"
Longstanding feature request:

Not currently implemented in core with default MySQL search, though the
Lucene search engine can do this (with limitations).
