      Search Feature

      The whole search feature is pretty pointless and buggy.

      First, when you search with the search box for the wiki in the nav bar, you just get redirected to the advanced search page. Doesn't make sense at all.

      Also, the search finds certain words in articles and ignores others. This seems to be a bug.

      And why the hell is there an option to search other "namespaces" (the whole about your namespaces is very confusing BTW) than the default, Wiki namespace? This is just confusing, especially for regular users, and doesn't make much sense either. Why should anyone want to search the header namespace for example?

      Also, when there is no result in a search you are getting the regular "no results" page of VB. Instead it should redirect you to the same page you get when you search for a word that exists in an article, but not as an article title.

      The first thing you mentioned is a bug, and will be addressed.

      The search form is just a wrapper for vBulletin's search that singles out the wiki forums. Any ignored criteria should be taken up with the vB team.

      On the Advanced Search page, there is an option to search other namespaces. This is useful if you created a wiki that actually uses the multiple namespaces. If you think the advanced page is too confusing for regular users, you can turn off their permission to use that page in Usergroup Permissions. Sure, it's not likely a user will want to search the header namespace, but if you are updating headers in an updating binge, using this search is something you may want to do.

      The no results page is displayed instead of an empty article in case there is a similar article that exists. This is also the default behavior in the popular Wikipedia. If you really want to create the article, there is a link at the top of the "no results" page that lets you do this.

      Fixed. There was a typo in the vault_search_navbar template.

      Change: name="text"
      to: name="query"
