Summary: Please make IP address search behavior configurable
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Search
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Hi,
please make the current behavior of MediaWiki, treating IP address searches as
"search contributions" configurable. This implicit search casting might be
interesting on large public sites like WikiPedia, but it's troublesome for
those with a small or closed user group.
We use MediaWiki internally to document our Servers and Network infrastructure;
IP addresses are one of the prevalent things we document. When we search for IP
addresses we expect to get all pages containing the IP address, not
contributions by an user with such an address.
Having to patch includes/SearchEngine.php by hand is doable for us, but we plan
to release our collection of templates and robots as a complete product to the
public, and in that context this would be one additional step when deploying or
upgrading Mediawiki.
Best regards,
Michael
