The OpenSearch module is supposed to be a prefix search. When typing in "Nept", a list in which everything starts with "Nept" and is sorted alphabetically is what you'd expect, not a list that has "Planets in astrology" in the middle of it (and hence isn't alphabetically sorted, because redirects are replaced in their slot).

One of the two behaviors needs to be chosen as the 'right' one, and should be used consistently. REOPENing on this basis and changing summary accordingly. -- 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
