Mediawiki does not allow wildcard searches like cat* to match cats.
The following modifications can enable those
- In File SearchEngine.php
function legalSearchChars() {
#return "A-Za-z_'0-9\\x80-\\xFF\\-";
return "A-Za-z_'0-9\\x80-\\xFF\\-+*";
}
# + and * are added to the return string.
- In File SearchMySQL4.php
# if( $this->strictMatching && ($terms[1] == ) ) {
# $terms[1] = '+';
#}
# Comment out the above three lines.
