Change Details

Unless CirrusSearch is now matching LuceneSearch behavior too well, or I missed something, it looks like we are not able to compare results of both search backends anymore: * Search for `follow-up` always returns 81,765 results: ** https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=follow-up&fulltext=1&srbackend=LuceneSearch ** https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=follow-up&fulltext=1&srbackend=CirrusSearch * Search for `bug found` always returns 68,972 results: ** https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=bug+found&fulltext=1&srbackend=LuceneSearch ** https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=bug+found&fulltext=1&srbackend=CirrusSearch * Search for `álgebra` always returns 2,136 results: ** https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=álgebra&fulltext=1&srbackend=LuceneSearch ** https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=álgebra&fulltext=1&srbackend=CirrusSearch * Search for `testing here` always returns 2,081,770 results: ** https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=testing+here&fulltext=1&srbackend=LuceneSearch ** https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=testing+here&fulltext=1&srbackend=CirrusSearch **See also** * The three search examples at {T64733} all return the same number of results for both values of `srbackend` * The examples at {T65861}

Looks like setting "srbackend=LuceneSearch" nowadays produces exactly the same behaviors as "srbackend=CirrusSearch". If MediaWiki is silently using to Cirrus search, it should inform the user about this. The current behavior is confusing for users trying to compare the results of multiple search backends. **Examples** * Search for `follow-up` always returns 81,765 results: ** https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=follow-up&fulltext=1&srbackend=LuceneSearch ** https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=follow-up&fulltext=1&srbackend=CirrusSearch * Search for `bug found` always returns 68,972 results: ** https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=bug+found&fulltext=1&srbackend=LuceneSearch ** https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=bug+found&fulltext=1&srbackend=CirrusSearch * Search for `álgebra` always returns 2,136 results: ** https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=álgebra&fulltext=1&srbackend=LuceneSearch ** https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=álgebra&fulltext=1&srbackend=CirrusSearch * Search for `testing here` always returns 2,081,770 results: ** https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=testing+here&fulltext=1&srbackend=LuceneSearch ** https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=testing+here&fulltext=1&srbackend=CirrusSearch * The three search examples at {T64733} all return the same number of results for both values of `srbackend` * The examples at {T65861}
