When searching using quoted queries "foo bar" MW 1.27 does not show the text snippet, only page titles are shown. This seems to be a regression since MW 1.23 appeared to display text snippets properly.

For the sake of completeness:
Setup
- MediaWiki core without additional search extensions
- PHP 5.6.30 (cgi-fcgi)
- MySQL 5.1.73-log, however this was also observed on 5.5.55-0+deb8u1
Search result on 1.23.15
Search string "September 2010"
Search result on 1.25.6
Search string "September 2010" - text snippets are gone
Search result on 1.27.3
Search string "September 2010"
So the regression was either introduced with REL1_24 or REL_125 since 1.25.6 already does not longer show the text snippets. The user can no longer assess the relevancy for looking at the snippet. Also the different occurrences of the search string on the pages is not visible.
The number of results is the expected number of results and their ranking within the results shown is identical in all versions.
Since I only move from LTS release to LTS release it is now that I realized the issue.

@dcausse Thanks a lot. Great work. The text snippets are back again!
One thing is however changed now. Searching for "September 2010" and September 2010 now return identical results, i.e. there is no difference between using them. On 1.23 searching for "September 2010" actually returned matches for "September 2010" as opposed to just returning matches for "September" as it happens when using September 2010. Since the results are now identical better search results using "September 2010" over September 2010 seems no longer to be possible. Is this something that should be discussed at T167800?

@Kghbln indeed you're right... I broke something, currently looking into solutions. I'll upload a new patch probably tomorrow.

@dcausse I have just done a field test on REL1_27 master and can confirm that the search is showing the expected behavior again and the testing scenario works perfect. That's great news! Thanks you so much for your effort and help. Very much appreciated indeed! Have a nice weekend. You deserve it! :)
