Description

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Go to https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Hauptseite
  2. Type "versionsge" in the search field, wait for suggestions to appear (or just visit https://de.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=opensearch&search=versionsge)

-> The last entry is "Versionsgeschichte von MediaWiki", though https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Versionsgeschichte_von_MediaWiki has been deleted almost a year ago.

I'm not sure where this old entry comes from, but by now it should have been removed from the search index.

The issue is not limited to this page, it also happens with the German pages Benutzer:JLKiel/Moritz Krieter (deleted March 2014), Benutzer:JLKiel/TV Petterweil (May 2014) and Benutzer:JLKiel/Kevin Herbst (May 2014) and various other pages.

All those pages were created as automatic redirects after moving the content page, I don't know if that is relevant.

I also hit this bug myself. For example with: https://de.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=opensearch&search=https:// (which AFAIR contains pages deleted almost a year ago)

See also https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T93849 - similar bug, but with a manual redirect that still exists.

I cannot reproduce this bug anymore. Is there an example where this behaviour is still identifiable?
