Bug #: 30595
Summary: Inconsistent search results with language links
Product: Wikimedia
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASe
arch&search=fiets

Classification: Unclassified
When searching for "fiets" (dutch for bicycle) in English Wikipedia,
[[Bicycle]] is second in the list of results. But the displayed text is not
always the same. Most times it shows the beginning of the article (which does
not include that word or any similar words):
Bicycle
Bicycle (disambiguation) File:Marin bike. jpg | A mountain bike , a popular
multi-use bicycle. A bicycle, also known as a bike, pushbike or ...
55 KB (7,627 words) - 02:20, 26 August 2011
But sometimes it displays the language links which has the words "fiets":
Bicycle
[[af:Fiets]] [[nl:Fiets]]
55 KB (8,105 words) - 02:20, 26 August 2011
The sample text and the word count are different.
Searching for translations of bicycle in other languages ("cykel", "fietse",
"sykkel") does not usually find [[Bicycle]]. Unless that word is also used in
other places than the language links, like German "Fahrrad" in the name of an
image. So it looks like language links should not not usually be included in
the search.
