Additional word terminators needed?
When typing in CirrusSearch the completion search only looks for pages in the main namespace and seems blind to other namespaces. Many communities utilise namespaces for a logical categorisation or behavioural difference, and this seems to be an unnecessary limitation. Similarly the suggester seems to be inhibited by a forward slash in a page name, so searching for CompletionSearcher shows nothing in the type ahead unless you have started your search term with Extension:...

Both cases almost seem not to identify the colon or the forward slash as logical word terminators in a nomenclature construct. — billinghurst  sDrewth  12:58, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
