Bug #: 32629
Summary: Wikipedia search reports wrong number, only recently
happening
Product: Wikimedia Tools
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: [Other]
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: m...@michaels.demon.co.uk
Classification: Unclassified
A search in Wikipedia reports the wrong number of hits. For example, until
recently, searching for "supercede" (without quote marks) in the Main
namespace, including redirects, returned the right number of hits. A few days
ago there were 12 actual hits, and 12 hits were reported. Then 16 hits were
reported, although there were still 12. On 24 November at !9:25 20 hits were
reported, but 12 hits were still recorded. So either the number of hits is
reported incorrectly, or possibly the number is correct and not all hits are
listed (I don't think so, 8 new uses of "supercede" in a week or so would be
unusual). I report this as searching for "search result number" in Bugzilla
finds nothing.
