CirrusSearch: Remove suggestion to create article with search title when using advanced search syntax
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

If you search use category intersection to list all pages in the intersection of two categories, CirrusSearch suggests you create and article by the title of your search query, which doesn't make much sense given that it's pure search syntax.

Example: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=incategory%3A%221941+births%22+incategory%3A%221995+deaths%22&title=Special%3ASearch

The search page says: You may create the page "Incategory:"1941 births" incategory:"1995 deaths"", but consider checking the search results below to see whether the topic is already covered.

It probably makes sense to not make suggestions to create articles with your search query when that query contains advanced search syntax.

It probably makes sense to not make suggestions to create articles with your

search query when that query contains advanced search syntax.

We can probably do that. It might remove it more times then it ought to but I don't imagine it'll be a big problem.
