> Hi there,
> As we know, the difference between "Go" and "Search" buttons 
> beside the search box is that "Go" first looks for article's 
> title and first lists search results found in titles, and 
> immediately goes to the indicated article if one is found. If 
> "Go" fails to find an article, it then automatically executes 
> "Search" which is a full-text search for the given words.
>  
> However, it only works well for default namespaces. If the 
> given keywords string is in articles under a customized 
> namespace, the "Go" doesn't look for (or list) article titles 
> first, which means there is no difference between "Go" and "Search".
>  
> Is there any way to do to make the "Go" to work for 
> customized namespaces?
>  
> BTW, in case there is something to do with the search engine, 
> I am using Lucene-search/MWSearch.
