there is a discussion about how transcluded pages are not seen by the search engine, and I
have made an assumption that is Wikisource's issue where its pages that are
transcluded
across from the Page: namespace don't make the main namespace search.
An example of the behaviour
The work "Highways and Byways in Sussex" which is proofread in the Page
namespace as
individual pages, and transcluded into chapters in the main namespace.
http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Highways_and_Byways_in_Sussex
* search in the main namespace
http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=singleton&prefix=Hi…
* compared with searching the individual pages in the Page namespace
http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=singleton&prefix=Pa…
I am guessing that the search engine does not transclude pages before it undertakes it
indexing function. Is someone able to confirm that for me?
Is there any fix that anyone can suggest, or even know where such an issue can be raised
beyong Bugzilla? Would a fix lie in the search engine? Or does the fix lie in the
transclusion process? Thanks.
