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,
DanB
