Manual:$wgNamespacesToBeSearchedDefault can be used to define the default namespace pre-selected in the search form.

I've tried the follow and various forms to add a namespace to the default selected list

$wgAdvancedSearchNamespacePresets['defaultNamespaces']['namespaces'][]=(string)NS_EQUIPMENT;

Any help appreciated.

Hey!

The namespace selected by default ( as part of the default search name space ) is defined by this variable: Manual:$wgNamespacesToBeSearchedDefault independent from the AdvancedSearch extension. If you change that ( e.g. by removing main and adding something else ) you should get what you need. :-)

Thank you @Christoph Jauera (WMDE) that was my issue and solved my problem.
