            Bug ID: 65803
           Summary: [Regression] CirrusSearch: Excerpts should not show
                    normalised version (searching javacript, results all
                    lowercase and no punctionation)

           Version: unspecified

          Keywords: code-update-regression
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized

I believe this change happened fairly recently. When searching for a phrase,
the excerpts shown on Special:Search now seem to be exposing the normalised
versions (e.g. stripped of all parenthesis, character casing and other
variants, presumably accents as well).

Though it doesn't happen consistently. Presumably this is more than a simple
character stripping/replacement, but something more finetuned for language. So
maybe the recent regression was not it being turned on for excerpts, but the
normalisation itself being changed.

User facing issue:

Search for "WisReden" on nl.wikipedia.org.

Results:

1. Gebruiker:Chaemera/monobook.js

   'gebruiker erwin blockmsg.js ; importscript 'wikipedia wisreden' ;

   130 B (11 woorden) - 21 nov 2007 16:26

2. Gebruiker:Emmelie/monobook.js

   'gebruiker warddr qpreview.js ; importscript 'wikipedia wisreden' ;
document.write ' ' ; version 1.beta.4 zeus_head_thumb-zanaq

Actual page content:

- Gebruiker:Chaemera/monobook.js:


   // [[Gebruiker:Erwin/blockmsg.js]]
   importScript('Gebruiker:Erwin/blockmsg.js');
   importScript('Wikipedia:WisReden');

- excerpt:

   'gebruiker erwin blockmsg.js ; importscript 'wikipedia wisreden' ;

Rather weird that it:
* Converted everything to lower case.
* Added a space before the semi-colon.
* Turned the quoted text into one quotation instead of two, but preserved the
semi-colon.



As for inconsistency, here is a search for "addOnloadhook" on nl.wikipedia.org:

1. Gebruiker:Aleichem/monobook.js

   addonloadhook stats ; document.write ' ' ;

2. Wikipedia:WisReden

   location.href.indexOf("action=delete")!=-1) addOnloadHook(WisReden); //

Result #1 has a normalised excerpt, result #3 has original case preserved.
