These hacks are dangerous. They have been done as last resort to overcome problems that were otherwise unsolvable. Do not use these in any other situation. Recorded here only as a reference.

==Search Not Working==
When URL forwarding and very short urls used together my [[Mod_Rewrite]] scripts could not handle the search function. The following was done to overcome this problem.
;Note: The URL rewriting should not rewrite requests with index.php
<pre>
function getSearchLink() {
$searchPage =& Title::makeTitle( NS_SPECIAL, 'Search' );
#Assela hack HACK
// return $searchPage->getLocalURL();
return "/index.php?Special:Search";
</pre>
