--- Comment #2 from Sumana Harihareswara <[email protected]> ---
(Just a tip: thank you for mentioning bug 52906 .  It's great to say "bug
52906" or "bug # 52906" if you mention a bug number, because then BZ
automatically links to it! Magic.)

I think we'd want to distinguish among these cases:

* there are no results that include all the search terms, and some results that
are partial matches
* there are very few results that include all the search terms, and then more
partial matches
* there are lots of results that include all the search terms

I agree that if there are NO results that include all the search terms, then we
should offer partial matches (and say that we are doing so, and why).

And if there are FEW full matches and a lot of partial matches, I believe that
we would generally want to rank full matches above partial matches.  I
personally prefer to rank full matches above partial matches.  On real wikis
with non-loremipsum content, I'm sure that page title matches are pretty
important and should be ranked pretty high.  But maybe we should just test that
again after rollout to mediawiki.org.
