Bug ID: 44773
Summary: Improve property search
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: master

Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized

The search in the property name box seems to be performed only on the first
word of the property, for example "place of birth" or "place of death" show up
only if you type "place" but they should be shown also when you type "birth"
(maybe because you were looking for "birthplace").
Making alias will help only partially because, for example, I would like to
type "birth" and being shown "place of birth" but also "date of birth", so
while for "place of birth" adding "birthplace" as an alias will help, for other
elements it may not be the case. Creating alias only to help searches doesn't
look as The Right Thing To Do(TM) to me. Clarifying, I'm perfectly fine with
having "''sound''" aliases as "birthplace" for "place of birth", "birthday" for
"date of birth", what I'm not so sure it's a good thing is using alias to
provide search shortcuts. Improving property search will improve user
friendliness.
