Thanks for your response. To describe more clearly: The ajax suggest
function of the wiki will do a dynamic search of page titles. But by
default it will only match article titles that begin with the search
term. Eg search for 'foo' will match 'foobar', but not 'barfoo'.
I'm
trying to find a way to match titles that contain the search term
anywhere, so that 'foo' will match any title containing 'foo'.
Even better would be to have the wiki return a list of titles from a
full text search based on the search phrase. API seems to only return
titles at this stage.

Hi everyone,
I'd like to make a custom search box for our wiki that will do a
'contains' search. I have tested using the mediawiki API and that
gives a 'begins with' search. The format is just what I need, but how
to do a 'contains' search? - using API or some other method.

Perform a normal search. Choose the articles you want to know it
containers. Click 'What links here' in the toolbox. Press 'Hide
links'.
