At bugzilla:18861 https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18861 there is a discussion about how transcluded pages are not seen by the search engine, and I have made an assumption that is Wikisource's issue where its pages that are transcluded across from the Page: namespace don't make the main namespace search.
An example of the behaviour The work "Highways and Byways in Sussex" which is proofread in the Page namespace as individual pages, and transcluded into chapters in the main namespace. http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Highways_and_Byways_in_Sussex * search in the main namespace http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=singleton&prefix=Highways+and+Byways+in+Sussex&fulltext=Search+in+this+work&fulltext=Search * compared with searching the individual pages in the Page namespace http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=singleton&prefix=Page%3AHighways+and+Byways+in+Sussex&fulltext=Search+in+this+work+%28Page%3A+prefix%29&fulltext=Search I am guessing that the search engine does not transclude pages before it undertakes it indexing function. Is someone able to confirm that for me? Is there any fix that anyone can suggest, or even know where such an issue can be raised beyong Bugzilla? Would a fix lie in the search engine? Or does the fix lie in the transclusion process? Thanks.
