Summary: Corrupt content in Description in opensearch results
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All

opensearch results in XML format contain Description node in every Item, which
most times is the first sentence in page described by Item.
And the text of Description many times corrupted because of stripping
templates, like in the URL for bug.
>Moscow (Russian: Москва, romanised: Moskva, IPA: ru-Moskva.ogg [mɐˈskva]
>(help·info); see also other names) is the capital and the largest city of
>Russia.
Became:
>Moscow (, romanised: Moskva, IPA: ; see also other names) is the capital and
>the largest city of Russia.
Some times this results are wrong at all since there is a character (like: + or
-) between templates written in this page and it's became the Description in
results.

Maybe it's possible to change the way opensearch return this results to include
rendered/unrendered wiki text or at least to resolve some of templates and
detect non alphanumeric characters in the start of the sentence?..
