The TitleKey extension provides a case-insensitive page 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
TitleKeyfolder to yourextensions/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.
Known problems
- It breaks VisualEditor autocompletion for templates (see topic).
- It breaks any extension that relies on Prefixsearch which also includes TemplateWizard.
- It breaks search suggestions for pages that are not in the main namespace. (There is an unmerged Gerrit patch that would fix this issue: Gerrit change 641277.)
