Description Peter Flodin 2005-11-05 12:52:33 UTC
When the openSUSE.org site was designed, somebody made a (quite valid) design decision to have only one search button, they however chose that the action of that search was the MediaWiki "Go" search, by commenting out the full text search:

<form name="searchform" action="/index.php/Special:Search" id="searchform">
  <input id="searchInput" name="search" type="text" accesskey="f" value="" />
  <input type='image' name="go" class="searchButton" id="searchGoButton"
       value="Go" src="/skins/monobook/search.gif"/>
<!--&nbsp;<input type='submit' name="fulltext" class="searchButton" value="Search" />-->
</form>

This means that if you search for say "Firefox", it will take you straight
to the Firefox page, this is bad, if I actually want to find pages that contain the term Firefox. There is no way to do a full text search other than manually creating the URL (or use Google :)

I think this is a bug, and propose that the search is changed to full text, especially as it also does a title search and list matched titles first, as shown  here:
http://www.opensuse.org/Special:Search?search=Firefox&fulltext=Search

as opposed to the current:
http://www.opensuse.org/Special:Search?search=Firefox&Go=go

micheal: why did you assign it to the screening team?
Comment 5 Michael Gross 2005-11-08 12:47:25 UTC
I didn't, the bug was assigned to us all the time, just asked that it gets assigned to the correct person because of comment #2. It is now assigned to you.
