The TitleKey extension provides a case-insensitive page title prefix search. It uses a separate table for the keys so that it can be deployed without an expensive rebuild of core tables and uninstalled later in preference for a different search extension such as CirrusSearch .

For the average site administrator, the benefit of this extension is that it allows search suggestions (e.g., from Opensearch API) to be case-insensitive.

This extension provides no benefit if you are using CirrusSearch .

Installation

• Download and move the extracted TitleKey folder to your extensions/ directory.
  Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:cd extensions/
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/TitleKey
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:

  wfLoadExtension( 'TitleKey' );
  // For MW 1.43.0 and above, no further configuration is needed.
  
  // For MW 1.42.x (use SearchEngineMySQL, SearchEnginePostgres, or SearchEngineSqlite depending on your $wgDBtype)
  $wgSearchType = MediaWiki\Extension\TitleKey\SearchEngineMySQL::class;
  
  // For MW 1.39.x to 1.41.x
  $wgSearchType = MediaWiki\Extension\TitleKey\SearchEngine::class;
  

• Run the update script which will automatically create the necessary database tables that this extension needs.
•  Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

Maintenance

The RebuildTitleKeys maintenance script can be used at any time to rebuild the title index (this requires command-line access):

$ path/to/mediawiki/maintenance/run RebuildTitleKeys

Or, for MediaWiki before 1.40:

$ php path/to/mediawiki/extensions/TitleKey/maintenance/rebuildTitleKeys.php
