@Fl.schmitt reported on COM:VPT today that the "create" type inputbox on COM:BRFA is redirecting to a search form. I did some testing in my userspace and noticed this.
Steps to replicate the issue:
- Have all types of inputboxes on a single page (see https://w.wiki/EhaM)
- Try using each inputbox and observe the behavior
- Remove inputboxes which are "fulltext" and "search" type (see https://w.wiki/EhaR)
- Try using the remaining inputboxes again
What happens?: Having "fulltext" and/or "search" type inputboxes makes all other types of inputboxes to unexpectedly redirect to Special:(Media)Search rather than performing their intended functions.
What should have happened instead?: Each type of inputbox should have worked independently and performed the action specific to its type. The presence of "search" and/or "fulltext" inputboxes should have not interfered with the others.
