Cpiral added a comment to T167956: Deprecate printable version mode.

@TheDJ Thanks, now I can update WP:Print description. But as for the web inspector and an OS print preview, I will need to search out more information on those to update it fully.

Cpiral added a comment to T167956: Deprecate printable version mode.

Right now, it seems TheDJ's script (to convert MediaWiki's server "printable version" into a browser "print page" dialog) is in effect. But then 1) shouldn't we first remove the "printable version" selection from the sidebar's Print/export section of tools? 2) Firefox Reader Mode is now not cooperating. (It's gone, but will show up on PHP pages such as from the "Permanent link" tool in the sidebar.)

I've personally lost several edits because it is my usual habit to freely browse around my live edit, and it is the custom to check a wikilink in a preview before saving the edit. I don't know how many others edit like myself, but any level is unacceptable for any other priority than UNBREAK now.

Concerning the "researchers" use case, could you elaborate a bit more? Is it just counting word frequencies (we can extract a top term for some wikis if needed)?
We plan to replicate our production indices into a lab instance suited for experimentation, maybe it will be more appropriate for this kind of usage.

Cpiral added a comment to T123093: An empty bullet in print.

How it happened to become:

  1. The Wikipedia manual of style allows for a "See also" section on disambiguation pages, naming two templates that can be used there.
  2. Each template produces it's own Search link.
  3. These Search links show up in print, so they are given a "noprint" class.
  4. Since they are in a See also section, they come after a normal bullet. So this practice instantiates large numbers of the "empty bullet in print" problem.
  5. A "noprint bullet" would seem to fix the problem. A bot-fix on literally ten thousand pages.

Restricted Application added a project to T92998: As a user, I would like for search to give me good results irrespective of whether I get my query's casing correct or not: Discovery-ARCHIVED.

The examples show a WrestleReunion and an E57.
CirrusSearch tokenizer creates term boundaries terms inside camelCase and 4tokenizing forms.
It matters whether there were "quotes" around the search term.
Please ask at the talk page of CirrusSearch, where someone should be obligagated to say:

Cpiral added a comment to T119806: Unicode digits are unsearchable.

T95849 shows a direct analysis of a single unicode character from 6 mos ago, but has been put "up for grabs" twice, saying

  • insource:/★/ shows 35, but misses Emoji and Miscellaneous Symbols.
  • insource:★ finds nothing
  • type-ahead-searching for finds three titles that begin with that char, but intitle: ★ finds nothing.

I would add that prefix:★ finds nothing, and probably no indexed search handles unicode.

Cpiral added a comment to T115547: Namespace prefix "all:" "All:" and "All: " all behave differently.

A namespace in the search box overrides the search bar's Advanced namespace selection.
