I found the cause of the special treatment of 'search' parameters in the url.
In the MediaWiki::parseTitle() function there is this piece of code:
if ( $request->getCheck( 'search' ) ) {
// Compatibility with old search URLs which didn't use
Special:Search
// Just check for presence here, so blank requests still
// show the search page when using ugly URLs (bug 8054).
$ret = SpecialPage::getTitleFor( 'Search' );
}
No hooks anywhere there to influence this, so it seems that the only way to use
another search page is to change the MediaWiki class :-).
Or am I missing some other option?
