Bug #: 35719
Summary: API: list=search&srwhat=nearmatch doesn't work for
titles with namespace prefix
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=se
arch&srwhat=nearmatch&srsearch=Wikipedia:About
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: API
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected],

Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
If LuceneSearch is enabled (like on Wikipedia), list=search&srwhat=nearmatch
doesn't work for any titles outside main namespace (see url).
This is due to ApiQuerySearch calling $search->replacePrefixes on the search
term, which is incorrect for "nearmatch" mode. LuceneSearch replaces the
namespace prefixes to an internal format, so "Wikipedia:About" is transformed
to "[4]:About", so the title can't be found anymore.
