Bug #: 40622
Summary: Set $wgUseTwoButtonsSearchForm = false; by default
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Interface
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]

Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Having two search submit buttons is bad for site usability. Users end up
confused both what button to click and what the heck the difference between
them is.
This actually got us a place in a list of things NOT to do:

This is basically why simplesearch was introduced in vector.
For other skins however we actually have $wgUseTwoButtonsSearchForm. Which when
set to false replaces the unusable "Go" + "Search" with a single "Go" button
and an "Advanced search" link that links to the search page and acts as a
usable replacement for the fulltext search button.
