I made a new extension last night that when someone types [[ it brings up a window right there inline with the editor with search suggestions. It searches farticles and iles, categories, (if you type category:, file: or image:) . And it searches the entire article name, not just the beginning of the name.
You can see a video of it here. http://vimeo.com/15483955
It is written using the MooTools javascript framework. But if anyone would like to port it to use just plain javascript, let me know and we can work together so everyone can use it.

Wow that's great and was always a feature I missed a lot in the default mediawiki. I truely have wondered that there wasn't any proper solution yet but this is really great and saves a lot of time.
Where can I get this extension to try?

Thanks!
It's just a proof of concept, but it does work. It wont work on IE6, and wont look god on any version of IE. It uses some css3 for the style. (shadow and rounded corners) I have only tested it on webkit (safari/chrome) and firefox
Also, it uses the mootools library (included) that makes it a bit bigger than normal and may not be compatible with every plugin.
I just zipped it up for you here: http://bildr.org/share/LinkSuggest.zip

Just unzip it and place the LinkSuggest folder in your wiki extensions folder, then add this to your local settings require_once("$IP/extensions/LinkSuggest/LinkSuggest.php");

Hello Adam,
I tested your extension but it doesn't work properly, means I don't have my editor anymore and the functionality your extension provides isn't visible.
Could this be because I'm using the editor from UsabilityInitiative and not the default one such as you do in the screencast?

Very well could be. I really haven't tested it much. I did make a lot of changes to it yesterday to work better with opera and IE
I think the problem is that the new bar uses jquery javascript framework, and I did not write this in a jquery compatible manner, so they are probably fighting.
Have you tried it with chrome browser? If the problem exists there, it is definitely not compatible with the new bar yet.

Let me know if this version works. I modified it to be more compatible with jquery, who I believe is used by the new toolbar. http://bildr.org/share/LinkSuggest2.zip

I tested your latest version with Chromium but it still doesn't work.
Is it hard to improve it that it will work with the new editor?

Does this still cause the edit bar to not show up? (if so, it is some incompatibility with the frameworks Im sure) I dont have a wiki with the new bar to test it with.
Are you familiar with javascript? You can see in chrome's console any javascript errors. If you let me know what they are I may be able to fix it. you can email me direct - ameyer {at }g {dot } risd {dot} edu
