             Bug #: 29161
           Summary: Search form to match keywords in page title?
           Product: Wikimedia
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: lucene-search-2
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]
    Classification: Unclassified


We are currently creating a new page structure for the Research: namespace on
Meta and we realized that creating subpages like:

http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Projects/Participatory_Motivation_to_Commons-based_Peer_Production

makes it really hard to find them via the internal search engine. In particular
it looks like the search form can only match phrases, not individual keywords,
and having to prefix each query with "Research:Projects/" is not practical at
all.

We recently created a namespace alias (R:) which can help shorten these queries
into something more manageable (if you type "R:Pro" it will automatically
expand to match "Research:Pro") but I was wondering if there was an easy way to
configure the search form to match keywords so that if I start typing
"Participatory" or "Peer Production" it will match the title of the above page.
