Seems the way AWB encodes urls results in a non working search query
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=search&srwhat=text&srlimit=max&srsearch=insource:/\%3Ccenter\%3E\%3Cgallery/i vs https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=search&srwhat=text&srsearch=%27insource%3a%2f%5c%3Ccenter%5c%3E%5c%3Cgallery%2fi%27&srlimit=max
Could be an html encoding bug like T91219 ?

| Resolved | Rjwilmsi | T92776 Incorrect encoding of search query in AWB can produce non-working search query |
Removing Discovery-Search (Current work) as this primarily appears to be a problem with a client's encoding rather than anything on our end.
Working now:
Raw search for insource:/\<center\>\<gallery/i
Gives 908 results on en-wp search box for mainspace
Wiki search (text) in AWB gives same number, URL it uses is:
Probably fixed by rev 12122 for T147291
