Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] Using filters in searches
It would *seem* that a 'filtered' search against fulltext
would be as simple as
select si_page,si_title from searchindex where match
(si_text) against ('categ*' in boolean mode) order by si_title
Where we are returning all pageIds and pageTitles from the
searchIndex using the search work 'cate*' (all words starting
with 'cate').
So if I simply create a special page which passes to the db
this form, shouldn't this then return all the items?
Am I on the right track?

May not be the first and wasn't the last to ask about this <G>
It seems from robs reply to "Couple of Mediawiki questions"
that the answer to this is no.
Is there anyone working on this as an extension?
Thanks

I see from the help article
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Searching
that the search does and automatic AND on all words in the
search edit box. Is there a way to force and OR or possibly
use wildcards?
I have done some searching and have not found anything but
find it odd that I would be the first one asking about this.
Ideas?
Thanks
