I go to phabricator.wikimedia.org
I search for: kilobyte(s)
Expected result:
The task T125316 is found.
Observed result:
No task is found.
It would be nice to correct this bug.
Thank you.

@Nnemo: "kilobyte(s)" does find the issue, as long as you include the quotation marks around your search term. For example: Search for "kilobyte(s)"
Thank you for tip. Indeed, with " this works. But I did not write ". So this issue is still valid.
I type a word in a search. I expect the search to find the word. This is simple and reasonable.
If you cannot, or do not want to, change the search engine so that he meet this expectation, then this would make this issue "Declined", not "Invalid".
We don't plan to add custom links to documentation items (because it would require maintaining such custom patches in a downstream fork). Improvements to oyr on-wiki documentation are very welcome!
