[Mediawiki-l] Enable Wildcard Search

[a. cremer]

Hi there

I think I found the solution to the problem.

Do the following change to the file SearchEnginge.php in /includes

Change Line 148 from
public static function legalSearchChars() {
to
function legalSearchChars() {

I have no idea whether this will impact other functionalities but at least 
the the wildcard search will work ;-)

Regards
Albert Cremer
