Enable Fulltext search instead of the current Wiki "Go" search.

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"/> <!-- <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
Marcus: iirc you already talked about that ... should i assign it to Jarred or will you take care of that?
yes. i already talked to ken about it. he is fine with re-adding the search button. so we will have both again. darix
micheal: why did you assign it to the screening team?
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.
ok fixed with the i18n wikis. which will be hopefully out soon. closing. :)
