UPDATE: Answered by Rainman
Hi Joel,
Just to clarify, the search results include section titles when the
section title itself matches the search term (and not when the text in
the section matches the search term). This should happen automatically
as long as you have the 2.1 features enabled in MWSearch (i.e.
$wgLuceneSearchVersion = 2.1). The Lucene-search backend parses section
titles and collects them into a special fields. This assumes that the
titles were generated using the standard syntax (e.g. == title ==). If
the section titles are generate via templates or some other extension,
it won't work.
Hope this helps,
Cheers, Robert

Good day Robert,
My name is Joel.
I've been poking around the forums, mediawiki.org + IRC channels and
haven't been able to find an answer to this question - however, it's
been said by many people I've talked to that you are the great mind
behind many of the critical search functions being used in Wikimedia
sites today (including Lucene-Search extension) and you might know the
answer.
Basically,
I am trying to get search results to display links to the section of the
article the search result was found in, rather than just a link the
article itself - the result I am looking for is much like the way
Wikipedia + Wikimedia search is working now.
I am currently running MediaWiki 1.19.1, PHP 5.4.4, MySQL 5.5.25, on an
Arch Linux / Apache 2 backend.
I have Lucene-Search 2.1 up and running, and according to some folks
I've talked to, it has capability along with MWSearch to do what I'm
asking.
Are you able to tell me how this is done?
Let me know if you need clarification, and thank you so much for your
time - PS, I am a great fan of your work... though I'm not a developer,
and I can't fathom how you are able to do it. If you have a donation
page set up, I would gladly toss in a small contribution as a token of
my gratitude.
Cheers,

Hello,
I have been all over the forums + mediawiki support desk, IRC, etc.
and so far no-one seems to know the answer to this.
I am wondering how to get Wikipedia-like search results on my Wiki.
I am running the following:
MediaWiki 1.19.1
PHP 5.4.5 (apache2handler)
MySQL 5.5.25a-log
Lucene 2.1
MWSearch + Lucene-Search, both latest
Everything works great except for the following:
I would like to have links to the section / redirect come up in my
results as well, similar to that of Wikipedia / MediaWiki.org.
For example, when I search Wikipedia for the term 'Test Concept', it
gives results like this:
/The page "Test concept
<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Test_concept&action=edit&redlink=1>"
does not exist. You can ask for it to be created
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_creation>, but
consider checking the search results below to see whether the topic is
already covered./

I hope this is clear. Thank you so much for any help you can provide!
