This strikes me as a rather good idea, but I don't really know that much
about cirrussearch in the first place. Anyone know, or have any thoughts
on this?

Subject: [MediaWiki-l] An "advanced search" page for CirrusSearch?

CirrusSearch has so many wonderful keywords for advanced searching:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:CirrusSearch.
Has anybody created an "advanced" search form (a special page) that uses these
wonderful options under the hood, to help less sophisticated users? That would make a
great addition to MediaWiki. For example:
Enter your search terms:
Limit to category:
Limit to namespace: (dropdown)
Search page titles only (yes/no):
Approximate matching (on/off):
Search within wikitext source (on/off):
etc...
I looked on mediawiki.org but didn't see anything.
Thanks,
DanB
