Extension archived.

I cannot download the extension, the download link are broken, and svn is old. am I right?

This extension is only available via SVN. You are right: It is old and unmaintained and was thus just archived by me.

do you know another extension to search by category?

shared hoster and no lucene-search

thx

No I am afraid, but perhaps there is one I am not aware. Try the Support desk to inquire about this.

(For archeologists' sake)

This comment was about a different extension with the same name that was later archived, not the current extension.

I found out that i need the Extension Extension:BetaFeatures to enable this extension. But stil after i enable this extension with the new "Beta" menu it still don't show anything only the search bar is visible but no menues. So maybe there are additional requirements for installation?

Hi @TomyLee.

The BetaFeatures extension should not be required by the extension. If this is a case than we should file a BUG and get that fixed!

However as @Jkmartindale says below you do need to have CirrusSearch!

A bit of a long shot, but do you have Extension:CirrusSearch installed with all of its dependencies?

Tracked in Phabricator
Task T217443

How can I hide the options for selecting namespaces and only show the advanced options drop-down?

Ok, so I see that it is an ongoing discussion on the namespace-field options.

But I would really like to use the AdvancedSearch extension like it was before; without the namespace-field. On my wiki it's not needed to choose a namespace to search, becouse everything needed to be searched for is in the main namespace (68.000 articles).

So how can I hide/dissable the namespace-field and options and still have the advanced search option?

Unclear why this is needed.

Is it possible to remove the namespace pane (force it not to load) and keep the advanced search pane?

At the moment there is no setting. It should be relatively simple to implement, maybe you can propose such a setting on Phabricator?

As a workaround for your own installation, you can edit the file modules/ext.advancedSearch.init.js and remove/comment out the lines

$advancedSearch.append( buildNamespacesPaneElement(
   state,
   headerContainer,
   namespacePresets,
   namespaceSelection,
   searchableNamespaces
) );

That will disable the namespaces without ill effects.

When clicking on the "i" button for information, the Sorting Order, Description says, "Change the sorting order of results. The standard is that most relevant pagest..."

"pagest" should be "pages."

Also, could "title" be an option?

Thanks! I reported it to the developers: T229216

Great extension. Thanks!

Please add a feature to allow users to find and select categories to search in the same way that namespaces are selected (as tokens). Thanks! Revansx (talk) 15:20, 24 October 2019 (UTC)

Somehow I cannot find real clear details on how search by relevance works in advanced search. Does anyone have details?

Unfortunately it's hard to tell what you mean when you say "how it works"? There is a dedicated "sorting order" field in the AdvancedSearch interface you can play around with. Maybe you are looking for Help:CirrusSearch?

Should be fixed by now.

I only see it on desktop but mobile

Fixed.

Dear,

On a new docker installation MW 1.39.1, PHP 8.1.15, MariaDB 10.10.2, Elastic Search 7.10.2 we get the following error with the AdvancedSearch extension enabled when doing a search:

Deprecated: explode(): Passing null to parameter #2 ($string) of type string is deprecated in var/www/html/extensions/AdvancedSearch/includes/MimeTypeConfigurator.php on line 49

When AdvancedSearch is disabled, the Elastic Search works properly.

Tom

This was fixed a few months ago via gerrit:856121. Unfortunately this was not backported to version 1.39. I uploaded gerrit:887354 to do that now.

This possible via commons:Special:MediaSearch.

As a user, I'd like to search files by size, so that I can find files of certain quality or simply a sample files.

Proposed solution

Implement the filesize filter that applies to all files.

Hey and thanks for the request. I added a ticket for that feature to Phabricator https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T230476
