Khitrenovich: MW site link

== MediaWiki ==

Updated version of th extension on MediaWiki site: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Wildcard_search. --[[User:Khitrenovich|Anton]] 22:07, 2 October 2007 (JST)

== Range out of order ==

I would love to try this extension but I get the following error message when I try a search

<pre>
Warning: preg_replace() [function.preg-replace]: Compilation failed: range out of order in character class at offset 27 in /var/www/localhost/htdocs/mediawiki/includes/SearchEngine.php on line 188
</pre>

I'm running the following versions on gentoo linux

* MediaWiki: 1.8.3
* PHP: 5.1.6-pl6-gentoo (apache2handler)
* MySQL: 5.0.26-log

Any ideas?

-- answering my own question here - but I modified the legalSearchChars in the extension and it works the way I like now. I copied the line from SearchEngine.php and added +* to it.

Thanks for the framework!

The first time I tried this extension, it stopped all searches working on our site - after a little searching in the code for SearchEngine.php I noticed that the code in your extension has an error in it

* your code: return "A-Za-z_'0-9¥¥x80-¥¥xFF¥¥-+*";
* Mediawiki code: return "A-Za-z_'0-9\\x80-\\xFF\\-+*";

\\ has been converted to ¥¥ for some reason

As soon as I changed it in the extension, everything started working properly! Thanks for the work!
Someone should change this in the article... --[[User:Sebastian.Dietrich|Sebastian.Dietrich]] 20:27, 2 March 2007 (JST)

== does not work with preceding wildcards ==

unfortunately this extension does not work if the wildcard is preceded (e.g. searching for "*rabbi")

== PHP Notice: Use of undefined constant ==

The following message can be found in error log of web server: <code>"[Mon Oct 01 14:46:51 2007] [error] [client ...] PHP Notice: Use of undefined constant SearchMySQLwildcards - assumed 'SearchMySQLwildcards' in .../SearchMySQLwildcards.php on line 11, referer: ..."</code>. In order to solve the issue, replace
$wgSearchType = SearchMySQLwildcards;
with
$wgSearchType = '''''''SearchMySQLwildcards''''''';

==Problems with MW 1.11==
I can't get this one to work with the following configuration
* MediaWiki: 1.11.0
* PHP: 5.1.2 (apache2handler)
* MySQL: 5.0.18
I just get a white screen. Any ideas? Anyone got it to work under 1.11? --[[User:Flominator|Flominator]] 19:27, 2 October 2007 (JST)

:: Awesome hint. Thank you very much. The error_log was at <code>/var/log/apache2 </code> and showed me [http://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Extension%3AWildcard_search&diff=135964&oldid=132128 my mistake]. --[[User:Flominator|Flominator]] 20:31, 2 October 2007 (JST)
