[Mediawiki-l] searching page titles

[Charles Sprickman]

Hi all,

Need to get this one out, the other main complaint I'm seeing is that 
searching page titles is somewhat weird.

The PHPWiki behavior allowed for partial matches.  For example, if I had 
the following page titles in the wiki:

FooFoo
FooFooBar
FooFooBlah
FooFooArgh

And then I searched for "foof", I'd get title matches on all of the above. 
The list would contain all of those and I could click on whichever I was 
interested in.  We very, very regularly navigate around like this.

If I search on the same terms with the same pages available in mediawiki, 
I get no page title matches, just full-text matches.

Is this the expected behavior?

Additionally, it seems like the search is not grabbing some of the new 
pages we've added.  Have I missed a cron job or similar needed to keep the 
search index up to date?

Thanks,

Charles
