Bug #: 35402
Summary: Provide a form of incategory: which covers
subcategories as well
Product: Wikimedia
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: lucene-search-2
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
It's currently possible to search incategory:X or -incategory:X, where X is a
category name, to include or exclude results categorised in Category:X.
However, this does not cover subcategories. This would obviously be useful,
particularly on Commons where search is an important way to find media.
This could be a separate keyword, say incategorysub:X. We could also, in
addition, extend incategory to specify recursion levels, with incategory:X
defaulting to incategory:0:X (just the category specified - no recursion), and
incategory:5:X meaning that we want to traverse 5 levels deep, and perhaps
incategory:-1:X meaning the same as incategorysub:X.
Obviously, the usefulness of this feature would be enhanced by also addressing
Bug 21988 (basically, providing GUI access to advanced search features).
