Description

Screenshots illustrating the bug

On en.wikipedia.org [MediaWiki 1.23wmf8 (019de9e)]

Here's some screenshots which illustrate the issue better (also attached):

If an HTML-style comment  appears in a ==Heading==, the "-->" may appear in the search results, as well as in search URLs.

Not a huge issue, but may point to underlying issues with the parsing of comments, and should probably be fixed.

Note the search link still went to the right page, but failed to find the heading due to the additional "--.3E" in the URL.

Version: unspecified
Severity: minor
Whiteboard: cirrus-fixed

CirrusSearch doesn't have this trouble. I've added a regression test to catch it in case it shows up though.
