             Bug #: 32970
           Summary: MW 1.18; How to determine the search profile / setting
                    of a default search profile
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: 1.18.0
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Search
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]
    Classification: Unclassified


In MW 1.18 additional hooks have been added to enhance the Search profiling and
especially creating your own profile works quite well but somehow it is nowhere
to find the possibility the predetermine which profile to use as default. Since
1.18 the standard search always assumes to use profile=advanced which makes
having additional profiles nice but not really convenient as the user has to
change  profiles manually (neither the user preference nor the LocalSettings
have a possibility to default a specific profile).

Our question is did we miss the documentation which explains how to set a
default profile or is just by standard that the search uses profile=advanced as
default profile?

I can guess, people will say that this is the intended behaviour and not an
error but to assume that the standard search profile should always be
profile=advanced is a bit short sighted now that we have such nice hooks.
