Summary: Should be possible to customize the search profiles.
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Search
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: conrad.ir...@gmail.com
It would be nice if the namespaces available to be searched could be customised
easily, either by the server-folk or the wiki's Sysops.
I envisage a $wgSearchNamespaces to deprecate $wgNamespacesToBeSearchedDefault
and $wgNamespacesToBeSearchedHelp in favour of a more flexible configuration
(A Wiktionarian suggested that they'd like:
$wgSearchNamespaces = array(
'dictionary' => array( NS_MAIN ),
'thesaurus' => array( 110 ),
'appendices' => array( 100, 102, 106 ),
'help-project' => array( NS_HELP, NS_PROJECT ),
'everything' => SEARCH_ALL,
'custom' => SEARCH_CUSTOM
);
Obviously, being able to remove the Multimedia option is useful for any site
that uses commons for all its media; and adding options is beneficial for any
site with custom namespaces)
An alternative would be a set-up like [[MediaWiki:Sidebar]] where the message
can be read and parsed (and cached!) - would require less precious sysadmin
time.
This might be possible using an extension to Hook into 'SpecialSearchProfiles',
but it would be cleaner to fix SpecialSearch::getSearchProfiles() directly
(particularly for a configuration variable).
