Content before colon does not show up in search
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

If I begin typing something and some of the results include a colon, everything up to the colon gets removed from the displayed results.

For example, if I begin to type "User:Ragesoss", the list of search results will be things like: "Ragesoss", "Ragesoss/sandbox", etc. For namespaces and special pages, I can sort of see why this might have been the intended behavior, but if so, I'll note that I find it confusing and annoying. If I'm typing in something that starts with "User:", I'd like to see that prefix in all the results.

This also affects article pages that have a title. For example, if I begin typing "Lego Ninjago", the first displayed result is just "Masters of Spinjitzu", corresponding to the article [[Lego Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu]].
