Bug ID: 73355
Summary: Red link suggestion not created for terms that contain
a word starting with hyphen
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: CirrusSearch

New article creation is not suggested if one of the words in the search term
starts with a hyphen. In Finnish, we have some compound terms which contain
such words.
I guess this clashes with the special meaning of the hyphen in the search
syntax. What is the best way to fix the problem?
Example: Go to https://fi.wikipedia.org/ and enter "New York -syndrooma"
(without quotes) in the search box.
Expected result: The search should ask if you want to create a new article.
Actual result:
https://fi.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=New+York+-syndrooma&title=Toiminnot%3AHaku&go=Siirry
lists only the search results.
