The TitleKey extension provides a case-insensitive title prefix search. It uses a separate table for the keys, so 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' );
  

• Run the update script which will automatically create the necessary database tables that this extension needs.
• Run the "rebuildTitleKeys.php" script (this requires command-line access):

php extensions/TitleKey/rebuildTitleKeys.php

•  Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
