Summary: Search in articles of different language
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Lucene Search
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Use case:
When I search for e.g. movies on Wikipedia, I usually type the movie name into
the search field. However, sometimes movie articles are available in other
languages only. When I realise that, I have to copy the movie name, go to the
main page, switch to the other language, paste the movie name into the search
field and search there.
Possible solution:
On search results, there could be the usual language selection area which is
present on most articles. Clicking on a language there would take you to the
search dialog of the specific language version of the wiki, or maybe even
directly to the desired article.
User scenario:
- User starts English Wikipedia.
- User searchs for "Le petit baigneur".
- Search results appear, because the article was not found on the English WP.
- User clicks "Francais" in the "Languages" area at the left.
- Article "Le petit baigneur" appears on the French WP.
