            Bug ID: 60354
           Summary: Search indexing affected by less-than sign
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: 1.21.1
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Search
          Assignee: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org

In MediaWiki with no search extensions, I edit a normal wiki page. I place the
following sentence (if you can call it that) on a line by itself:

  One < two butundeniably seven > six.

And then try using MediaWiki's search functionality to search for
'butundeniably'. I get: "There were no results matching the query". I suspect
the less-than sign is relevant in this behaviour.

Then change the word "two" to be the corresponding digit "2", resulting in
this:

  One < 2 butundeniably seven > six.

Now the search successfully finds the page.



I've discussed this on the support desk. One other user reported a similar
symptom.
