Description:
To reproduce this 'bug':
- visit URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
- in search field enter: "foo" (including double-quotation marks ... BTW foo is actually a legitimate,
existing article on wiki)
- press enter
Expected behaviour:
- delivered to URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foo
Observed Behaviour:
- Delivered to 'Search results - No page with that title exists' page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=%22foo%22&go=Go
(Note that searching on:
foo
[i.e. without the double-quotation marks] gives the 'correct', expected behaviour)
Thoughts:
- it seems that double-quoatation marks are being mishandled in search?
- maybe a bug, maybe not a bug .... but failing to locate "foo" is not what
I would consider 'expected benaviour'
- good or bad google has defined what is search, and the syntax as well
- suggest that google's method of handling of double-quotation marks be
considered and adopted
...
- unless it's possible that "foo" and foo might be different articles? I'm not familiar with the rules of
nomenclature for wiki article names.
(Thanks for wiki folks! - If needed I can be emailed at freeman_once att reazon
dott dyndnz dott org ... use letter 'esss' instead of letter 'zeee')
