Bug ID: 67521
Summary: Suggest results which differ in diacritics
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: CirrusSearch
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]

Web browser: ---
Mobile Platform: ---
Steps to reproduce:
1. visit http://hu.wikipedia.org
2. type "kurtvirag" in the search box
Expected: [[hu:Kürtvirág]] is suggested
Actual: no suggestions
This is particularly problematic because people often don't have access to the
right type of keyboard, and have only very inconvenient ways of entering
characters with diacritics. On mobile, entering diacritics is inconvenient even
when the keyboard is set up correctly.
The old behavior was to drop all diacritics for indexing, which was not great,
but better than the current one.
The ideal behavior would be to index both the exact and the stripped title, and
give more weight to the first; so search suggestions with different diacritics
would not crowd out better matches but would still appear if there is no
perfect match.
