Still working on the easiest solution. Found
/Special:PrefixIndex
This is very close to what I want though instead of prefix I want to
return a list of any page with a string in the name case insensitive.
Better option may still be some combination of api/js/css

(api,extension,skin,etc) mediawiki is almost too configurable.
Meidawiki with cirrussearch is pretty good, however I miss one big thing
from our previous moinmoin setup and thats a quick simple search and
display of wiki article titles.
What I would like is a button which will take the string from the search
field in mediawiki, perform a title search to grab any article with that
string in the title and disaply all the articles , titles only, in
alphabetic order.
Any suggestions if such a thing already exists or what my best avenue to
approach this would be given the various ways one can modify mediawiki ?
appreciate any thoughts on the topic.
we have a fairly small private wiki so this kind of search works really
well, for myself at least.
You'll want to use the "intitle:" operator in the search field. So
if you
search
for "intitle:Oatmeal" it'll only return results with Oatmeal in the title
:)
If you're wanting just a list, no snippets or anything like on
Special:Search,
you could do this via the API.
