What is the suggested use case for this? What would it allow you to do you cannot do with the current search?

Browser plugins presumably?

Aklapper claimed this task.
Aklapper triaged this task as Lowest priority.
Aklapper edited projects, added Phabricator (Upstream); removed Phabricator.

If upstream has declined the request and if nobody else volunteers to work on this then I don't see this happen.
In any case that work should happen upstream instead - no need to have a downstream duplicate open in our Phab instance, and once it's fixed in upstream we'd pull that fix anyway into our instance at some point.

Yep I came across the use case that some user pasted an unlinked bug number on wiki and I wanted to access it when I reported this bug. Previously I just select the number, right click, then choose "Search Bugzilla for <bug number>".

Would it be possible to add

https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/search/?script=1&query=<query>

as search provider in your browser to achieve the same effect?

With Firefox 51.0.1, if I click on "Sucheinstellungen ändern" at the bottom of the drop-down search thingy, about:preferences#search gets opened. If I click there on "Weitere Suchmachinen hinzufügen…", https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/search-engines/ gets opened. So with Firefox this does not seem to be configurable ("safe"/"babyproofed").

So (at least for Firefox), someone would have to write and publish a plug-in for phabricator.wikimedia.org. To add a search engine. *argl*
