--- Comment #2 from Sumana Harihareswara <[email protected]> ---
I understand that we'll be primarily searching for words.  But there are
English Wikipedia articles that have slashes in their titles, e.g., "/dev/null"
and the results in
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=%2Fdev%2F&title=Special%3ASearch&fulltext=1
, parentheses, e.g.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%28I_Can%27t_Get_No%29_Satisfaction , question
marks, e.g., ?uestlove , asterisks, e.g. *69 , and more.

Also, when someone is looking for technical help on mediawiki.org or in the
help pages of the English Wikipedia (for instance, with templates), we will
want to be able to help them, even if they are using {} and similar.

So I think we do need to worry about these kinds of characters.
