I can't find relevant info in the documentation so I've come to ask here - Is it possible to run a keyword search in deleted page content?
The default answer is "no". Alternatives have been most often discussed in relation to research projects on the archive table.
I've got this situation where a few pages were deleted by mistake, and redirects to those pages were speedily deleted by other admins. Now there are no searchable traces of what redirects we should restore, and admins don't know where in the deletion log to look. Any advice?
Depending on the age, number of involved pages and regularity of the content... just grep the XML dump?
