assela Pathirana:Mediawiki Wildcard Searching
From assela Pathirana
Jump to navigationJump to search
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.
