When creating a statement linking to a Sense show all Senses of a Lexeme in entity selector if Lexeme ID is entered
Open, LowPublic

Description

When adding a statement using a sense property, I often copy the lexeme ID instead of the sense ID by accident. Therefore I would like to see all senses for the lexeme if I only enter the lexeme ID. Right now it says "No match was found" unless I enter the full sense ID.

@Addshore @Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDE: Is this closer to a one-line fix or a 2 weeks coding project?

This sounds like something that needs to be fixed in search and the cirrus stuff for wikidata.org, @Smalyshev.

We could fix this for other Wikibase installs in our general PHP searching code, but I guess that isn't really needed by this ticket.

So I will defer to the search team? :)

I guess there could be a title prefix search for senses. I am pretty sure it's possible to search for it this way right now, but it's not part of wbsearchentities. I wonder if it should be part of wbsearchentities or some different/additional search that GUI requests?

The reason I'm wondering is that doing it as part of wbsearchentities would require special-casing senses (and maybe forms too?) which is not the cleanest solution I imagine?

Closing out low/est priority tasks over 6 months old with no activity within last 6 months in order to clean out the backlog of tickets we will not be addressing in the near term. Please feel free to reopen if you think a ticket is important, but bare in mind that given current priorities and resourcing, it is unlikely for the Search team to pick up these tasks for the indefinite future. We hope that the requested changes have either been addressed by or made irrelevant by work the team has done or is doing -- e.g. upgrading Elasticsearch to a newer version will solve various ES-related problems -- or will be subsumed by future work in a more generalized way.
