This includes private characters as well as surrogates (which removes all characters outside BMP, even if they are letters). If the resulting string is empty, the said error is thrown. Some examples: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&profile=default&search=a%EE%80%80&fulltext=Search (search from first comment, with an "a" prepended, is treated like a search for "a" alone) https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&profile=default&search=%24&fulltext=Search (search for "$", throws error) https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&profile=default&search=!%22%C2%A7%24%25%26%2F%28%29%3D%3F%3C%3E*%2B%27%23%2C.%3B%3A-_&fulltext=Search (search for a string of punctuation chars, throws error) Probably namespaces are removed from the search, too, which causes bug 49675 with the same error thrown. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
