→‎Cirrus Search: add link to search manual and give an example of a filtered search
Line 30: Line 30:     
The default search in mediawiki does exact matching, but doesn't to lexicographical searches. We have [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CirrusSearch Cirrus Search] installed, along with indexing daemons that run nightly on the mediawiki server.

Cirrus Search has a very detailed [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:CirrusSearch manual]. You may be interested in the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:CirrusSearch#Filters filtering] section. It explains how to search in only a set of pages. For example, typing ''-intitle:Meeting foo'' in to the search bar will search for ''foo'' in all the pages except for ones with ''Meeting'' in the title.

* '''"Wiki uses cookies to log in users. You have cookies disabled. Please enable them and try again."''' This issue seems to appear randomly every once in a while, even if users have cookies enabled in their browsers, they still can't login (and basically no one can login or edit any pages at that point). We're not sure what the root cause is yet, but [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16127882/how-can-i-fix-the-mediawiki-error-wiki-uses-cookies-to-log-in-users-you-have-c this StackOverflow answer] points to some potential solutions.

** If you want to get it working right now, just SSH into wiki.ad.pumpingstationone.org as root and run <code>systemctl restart php-fpm</code> to just restart mediawiki. Generally, that gets things working properly again, at least for a little while.
