By this time I hv figured out something Justing playing around with mediawiki and mysql fulltext search- I hv the following function:

$wgHooks['ArticleSaveComplete'][] = 'getNormalTextfromWikiText';

function getNormalTextfromWikiText(&$article,&$user,&$text) { global $wgParser; $result = $wgParser->parse($text, $wgParser->mTitle, $wgParser->mOptions); $new_text= $result->getText();

    $dbw =& wfGetDB( DB_MASTER );
                    $dbw->insert( 'searchable_text',
                            array(
                            'page_id' => $article->getID(),
                            'searchable_text'    => $new_text
                            ) );
     return true;

}

What I want is to insert normal text to a table and perform a mysql fulltext search on that table. i.e. if some user enters [http://en.wikipedia.org/ Link to Wikipedia] in article edit box, I want to insert "Link to Wikipedia" into my table. The "parse" in my above function is returning "<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/" class="external text" target="_blank" title="http://en.wikipedia.org/" rel="nofollow">Link to Wikipedia</a>

</p>". I don't want that. Simply needs "Link to Wikipedia". How can I get that?

Ah! I see. I was thinking about HTML tables and was completely confused! Would a simple regexp that removes everything between < and

do the trick? I've never really got the hang of regexps, so I won't

give you any code to try, but it should be a relatively easy one, I imagine.
