             Bug #: 30404
           Summary: Possibility to insert inputbox entered string in a
                    predefined search containing boolean operators
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: any
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Inputbox
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]
    Classification: Unclassified


Currently you can perform searches like these:
*incategory:"Heads of state" incategory:"YYYY deaths"
*fish incategory:"Chefs"
*intitle:"John" incategory:"American comedy writers"

Well, suppose you insert this code in [[Category:Heads of state]] or any other
'people' category page:
<inputbox>
type=search
boolean=incategory:"{{PAGENAME}}" incategory:"$1 deaths"
width=4
searchbuttonlabel=Find {{PAGENAME}} dead in a given year
</inputbox>

Or this simpler one in any category page:
<inputbox>
type=search
boolean= $1 incategory:"{{PAGENAME}}"
searchbuttonlabel=Find a word in this category
</inputbox>

Where 'boolean' is the requested new parameter with a unique wildcard (ie. $1
or %s). Using the 'default' parameter to define a boolean search results in an
annoying *visible* text in the input box.
