We've installed VisualEditor on our local wiki (1.26.2), and I have a question about
how the "Insert > Media" command works.
It pops up a search box, and when you enter some text, it displays images. How is it
determining which images "match" my search? The results seem counterintuitive.
For instance, if I type "Example", and my wiki contains File:Example.jpg, this
image does NOT come up in the search results. (This seems really odd.)
A different image named File:Foobar.jpg appears in the results. It has the word
"example" in the text of its File page. However, other images that also contain
the word "example" on their File pages do not appear. (One of them is
File:Example.jpg!)
I'm using the default MediaWiki search engine (mySQL search), if that matters. Our
production servers run CirrusSearch, but we haven't tried VisualEditor on those
servers yet.
Thanks,
