Description lɛʁi לערי ריינהארט 2006-01-13 20:01:59 UTC

Hallo!

This bug relates to titles mentioned at
Bug 4598: Order of title recognition and bold / italic rendering should be reversed

Exact search for *G''t* etc. should be possible regardles how google search works.

The actual results return false positives. The bug's url should identify / find
[[de:user:Gangleri/tests/G''t]] as soon as search indexes are updated.

best regards reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]

Hallo!

*strange*
search *excluding* the "Talk" namespace
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spezial:Search?
ns0=1&ns2=1&ns3=1&ns4=1&ns5=1&ns6=1&ns7=1&ns8=1&ns9=1&ns10=1&ns11=1&ns12=1&
ns13=1&ns14=1&ns15=1&ns100=1&ns101=1&search=G%27%27t&fulltext=Suche

shows *more* results (Ergebnisse 1–20 von 88)
then search *including* the "Talk" namespace
(Ergebnisse 1–20 von 56)
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spezial:Search?
ns0=1&ns1=1&ns2=1&ns3=1&ns4=1&ns5=1&ns6=1&ns7=1&ns8=1&ns9=1&ns10=1&ns11=1&n
s12=1&ns13=1&ns14=1&ns15=1&ns100=1&ns101=1&search=G%27%27t&fulltext=Suche

How does this bug relate to

marked as FIXED

This isn't something that can be done very efficiently, and is at best a niche issue. Toolserver tools should be able to take care of this adequately for now.
