Hi, folks!
I'd like to put a new optional feature into Phase-III and wanted to ask
whether that's OK or not.
When users search, they search by default only in the article namespace
(rather, in no namespace at all). In new Wikis smaller communities it
could be very useful to let users search for other namespaces by default
as well. E.g. many new users will want to search for documentation. I'm
working for a youth organization and we have many non-computer literate
members. To let them search for on-site documentation, they have to
search, fail, click on the correct namespace and search again. My
feature would enable the admin to define a site-wide default set of
namespaces to search for that defaults to the currently used set.
Any criticism, hints, additions, objections?
Implement it as part of the preferences of logged-in users. This will
automaticaly enable logged-in users to configure what namespaces they will
search and enables the admins via Language-Files to set each Language to
the behaviour the users there want to have, also including the
not-logged-in ones.
