            Bug ID: 61057
           Summary: CirrusSearch: Image caption text should not appear
                    excerpts from articles during a search
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: CirrusSearch

Example:
https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Spezial%3ASuche&profile=default&search=Giovanni+Lorenzo+Somis&fulltext=Search

The excerpt that CirrusSearch provides is: "Lorenzo Somis Giovanni Lorenzo
Somis (* 11. November 1688 in Turin; † 29. November 1775 ebenda) war". Browsing
to the article in question reveals that the first two words "Lorenzo Somia" are
actually from the caption to the first image in the article which, due to the
way wikitext works, is always placed before the lead paragraph. This doesn't
really make sense. The image caption shouldn't be displayed in the excerpt at
all.
