multiple searches should be 'and' instead of 'or'
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Author: andreengels

Description:
When more than one word is filled in in a search, the search returns all pages
containing _any_ of those words. It sould be much more useful to get the pages
containing _all_ of those words.

(In particular on the Chinese Wikipedia, where each character is considered a
single word, I am getting the feeling one might as well switch off searching
without losing much usability...)

well, it would be even better if we could select "AND" or "OR" mode :)

Didn't we fix this many versions ago?

Currently with SearchMySQL4.php, all searches *are* "AND" by default; if no other operator is present, + is prepended to each word in the search.

However, there seems to be no way to select "OR" mode with the current behavior; you can't remove the + from any word, because SearchEngine.php strips all non-
alphanumeric characters from the search.

The patch attached to bug 5711 allows admins to choose "AND" or "OR" mode for the default mode of MySQL 4.x-based search.
