List of steps to reproduce (step by step, including full links if applicable):
Scenario 1, empty search
- On mobile web, place the cursor in the search box.
- Tap “Search” or “Enter”on the keyboard (the label for the enter key changes on some touchscreen platforms like iOS).
Scenario 2, switch from desktop
- On desktop web, do an empty search.
- Arrive at Special:Search, notice that it has selectors for advanced searching and for searching other namespaces.
- Tap Mobile view at the bottom of the page.
Scenario 3, explicitly visit Special:Search
- In mobile web with AMC, open the burger menu
- Tap Special Pages
- Tap Search
What happens?:
I get an empty page with just the title “Search”.
E.g. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=&title=
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search
What should have happened instead?:
I expect a page with a search box and additional selectors for namespaces, other advanced search options, and sort-by options. Or at least a message saying to switch to desktop view. Or, if I have arrived there from a null-search, a message saying “There were no results matching the query.”
Software version (if not a Wikimedia wiki), browser information, screenshots, other information, etc.:
Wikimedia wikis (tested on English Wikipedia). Safari/iOS, and Edgium/Windows. Similar behaviour is observed on desktop web with useskin=Minerva, except sometimes (?) I see the marching dots like it's starting to load the selector widgets.
