Change Details

Hello. I'd like to suggest a new feature for wiki search mechanism. I know it is very hard to implement, and it can take years, but it will be very useful and very powerful. When we search some person, we should know his exactly first name, and can't use the last name only. Sometimes we know just a last name, and autocomplete will not work. In ruwiki, for example, it was resolved by creation a redirection with DEFAULTSORT name for each person, but it's not so cheap. I suggest to add the DEFAULTSORT keys for articles to the autocomplete index, even before the guesses, so searching "Bush" wil. suggest "Bush, George" as a second result, even before "Bushery". Thank you.
