**Steps to replicate the issue** (include links if applicable): * Per [[T378756]] InputBox was upgraded to use the newer MediaSearch instead of SpecialSearch * These templates (maybe some more) are used for search boxes not for media but certain meta pages: ** https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Village_pump/Header ** https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Administrators%27_noticeboard ** https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Help_desk_header ** Some uses of https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Search_box (?) ** https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Archive_box * When using these search boxes now, they don't search the pages they are supposed to search through so are useless and problematic: * The tab "Categories and Pages" is not preselected but instead "Images" showing media for the search terms * The prefix search operator is not applied anymore so even when manually going to that tab, it doesn't show the search results that are supposed to be shown **What happens?**: It shows the "Images" tab by default and doesn't apply the prefix search operator. **What should have happened instead?**: * It should show the "Categories and Pages" tab by default via allowing the default tab to be specified in the template. * It should apply the prefix search operator that was applied with SpecialSearch. For example, prefix=Commons:Village_pump/Archive for the first example in the list above. The templates would need be edited to specify that. **Software version** (on `Special:Version` page; skip for WMF-hosted wikis like Wikipedia): **Other information** (browser name/version, screenshots, etc.): This is basically a feature request so that a new bug can be fixed so I'm not sure whether to file this as a bug report or feature request – given that the reason and purpose for this issue is fixing a relatively urgent problem/bug, I think bug report fits better.
