MZMcBride <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|RESOLVED |REOPENED CC| |[email protected] Resolution|WONTFIX | --- Comment #2 from MZMcBride <[email protected]> 2011-01-22 05:57:09 UTC --- It should be possible to catch this gracefully, in theory at least. All searches go through "Special:Search", even searches using the "Go" button. In Monobook, this was done using a &go=Go parameter, e.g. <http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&search=|&go=Go>. Vector seems to do this a little bit differently (omitting the &go=Go parameter), but the general idea is still the same. "#" is an illegal character in MediaWiki page titles. "|" is also an illegal character in MediaWiki page titles, but it can be caught gracefully. Other sites, such as Google, can gracefully catch "#", e.g. <http://www.google.com/search?q=%23>. I don't know of any technical reason "#" can't be caught gracefully when it's input into the search field directly. It may require special-casing in includes/specials/SpecialSearch.php, but there isn't anything impossibile here (that I'm aware of) that requires a "wontfix" resolution. Re-opening this for now. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
