Some queries (such as the ones in comment #1) that used to fail now no longer do, so to some extent yes. It is still possible to get a time-out by asking for even more results or using more complex search terms/namespace filters, but as I stated in comment #6, it isn't really the timeout that's the problem, it's that no indication is given to the user that this has happened, and they are led to believe there are no results. It would be more helpful to tell them to ask for fewer results per page and/or try a less complex search. There is a difference between the output from a search that returns no results and a timed-out search. A search with no results has a "No page text matches" <h2>, followed by a "Note: Choosing the right search terms..." message. A timed-out search does not have the <h2>, but does have the additional message. Since this difference exists MediaWiki can presumably distinguish the two states and inform the user. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
