Yeah cached articles are a problem. And the ?from=<search> idea is bad too. The proper way to do it is with JS. I've added a comment to bug 23772 explaining how to implement it. > > The old functionality was one of the worst.

MonoBook is $wgUseTwoButtonsSearchForm (changing the default is bug 40622). For MonoBook when two-button search is disabled you get a "Go" button and an "Advanced search" button that leads to the search page where you can do fulltext searches. Also btw, Krinkle is working on making simplesearch's suggestions work on all skins and become part of core. Btw, if power users have so much problems with the "Go" functionality. Have you considered writing a Gadget? All you have to do is grab the search form and give the single submit button name="fulltext". Right now you'll have to use the varying IDs but in the future all skins should start using class="mw-search". -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
