Hi, I've just tested a bit and found that in my wiki (MediaWiki 1.16.2, PHP 5.3.5 (apache2handler), MySQL 5.5.8) I can search IP addresse with the dots/periods as if the dots/periods were just any other letter (so I find all occurances of the IP 194.94.3.130 or the IP-"beginning" 194.94.3).
Searching for words with dashes only works by putting the word inside " ". For example searching for server-update finds all pages with either the word server or the word update, whereas "server-update" finds only those pages with the exact word server-update. But all that is just the result of try-and-error and I'm sure that this list is read by those people who know the wherefor-and-whys of mediawiki-programming. :-) Greetings Kate Am 17.03.2011 13:41 schrieb Tolliver: > Hello, > > I am having a problem with the Search feature.
