Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

SearchQuery is a immutable class holding all the information known after parsing the query.

What about config and interwiki stuff? I.e., right now interwiki searches also use query builder but with different config. To take decision about how to treat search, this information needs to be available - i.e. Wikibase wants to override local searches in Main space, but not interwiki searches in the same space.

Most of the time the list of requested namespaces will be the criteria used but what happens if 2 extensions request to override for the same set of ns?

Ideally we don't want two extensions messing with search in the same NS. However, it is completely possible that, for example, somebody searches both Main and User space on Wikidata, and those require different searches. Right now the engine just chooses one, but we could possibly - at least in theory - run several searches. That wouldn't be easy since searches can have different results formats, etc. - so I am not sure whether we should support it at all.
