Hello,

One problem on Swedish Wikipedia with the current search engine is that it just doesn't do characters like å, ä and ö (which are three common letters in Swedish) well. They are lumped together with a and o respectively, which is like getting your i-words lumped together with your j-words. Åland is followed by Alaska, for example. So, as one user answered this question, does this function do this better? If it isn't, why should we test it on Swedish Wikipedia? His words, not mine.


Best wishes,

Lennart Guldbrandsson

Subject: Re: [Wikitech-ambassadors] Would any other wikis like to try out a new search?

Hi Nik,

I'm looking for volunteer wikis to try out the new search that Chad and I've been working on called CirrusSearch.

<sales pitch>Be a part of the second wave of wikis and influence new search features!</sales pitch>

I would have a question − sorry if it was answered already but I did not find it mentionned in the Mediawiki.org pages − please point me to the right place if so.
 
* CirrusSearch indexes expanded templates.

How does CirrusSearch handle cross-namespace transclusions like the one used on Wikisource?

See for example <https://fr.wikisource.org/wiki/On_ne_badine_pas_avec_l%E2%80%99amour>, which is merely the super-transclusion of text from the Page: namespace. Search of whatever string from the play text does not (necessarily) return the page of the play itself (though your mileage may vary [1]).

Thanks!
