Example?

Try searching for successfull

So your bug report is wrong. The files are returned, but AWB is skipping them as non existent, but they do exist...

Fixed - thanks

So the problem is Wiki Search is returning files from commons...

"This file is from Wikimedia Commons and may be used by other projects. The description on its file description page there is shown below."

Not sure if this is changed MW/search behaviour, needs digging into further. Will try and speak to the Discovery-ARCHIVED people tomorrow to find out what's going on

Reedy renamed this task from Files incorrectly being skipped as non-existent to list=search returning files from commons which therefore "don't exist" on enwiki.Aug 19 2018, 7:19 PM

[08:56:21] <dcausse> Reedy: when searching from (e.g) enwiki and selecting the file namespace yes it should search files from commons too
[08:57:03] <dcausse> prefix your query with "local:" if you don't want them

Not really a bug...
