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
        function getSearchLink() {
                $searchPage =& Title::makeTitle( NS_SPECIAL, 'Search' );
                #Assela hack HACK
//                return $searchPage->getLocalURL();
                return "/index.php?Special:Search";

Wildcard Search
