Was wurde verbessert?
Die neue Suchmaschine weist drei wesentliche Verbesserungen gegenüber der alten Suchmaschine auf, namentlich:


 * Bessere Unterstützung für Suchanfragen in unterschiedlichen Sprachen.
 * Schnellere Aktualisierungen für den Suchindex, d. h. Änderungen an Artikeln werden viel schneller in den Suchergebnissen sichtbar.
 * Expandieren von Vorlagen, d. h. der gesamte Vorlageninhalt von Artikeln wird in den Suchergebnissen angezeigt.

Updates
Updates to the search index are done in near real time. You should be able to search for your changes as soon as you make them. Changes to templates should take effect in articles that include the template in a few minutes. The templates changes use the job queue, so performance may vary. A null edit to the article will force the change through, but that shouldn't be required if everything is going well.

Search suggestions
The search suggestions you get when you type into the search box that drops down candidate pages is substantively the same with articles sorted by the number of incoming links. Worth noting is that if you start your search with ~ we won't find any articles as you type and you can safely hit enter at any time to jump to the search results page.

ASCII/accents/diacritics folding is turned on for English text, but there are some formatting problems with the result. See 52656.

Full text search
Full text search (the kind that lands you on the search results page) searching in title, redirects, headings, and article text so it shouldn't present any surprises. The big change here is that templates are expanded.

There are some relevant open bugs:
 * Strict phrase matches (those that turn of stemming) aren't always properly highlighted

Filters (intitle:, and incategory:)
We've tightened up the syntax around these quite a bit.
 * intitle:foo
 * Find articles whose title contains foo. Stemming is enabled for foo.
 * intitle:"foo bar"
 * Find articles whose title contains foo and bar. Stemming is enabled for foo and bar.
 * intitle:foo bar
 * Find articles whose title contains foo and whose title or text contains bar.
 * -intitle:foo bar
 * Find articles whose title does not contain foo and whose title or text contains bar.
 * intitle: foo bar
 * Syntax error, devolves into searching for articles whose title or text contains intitle:, foo, and bar.
 * incategory:Music
 * Find articles that are in Category:Music
 * incategory:"music history"
 * Find articles that are in Category:Music_history
 * incategory:"musicals" incategory:"1920"
 * Find articles that are in both Category:Musicals and Category:1920
 * -incategory:"musicals" incategory:"1920"
 * Find articles that are not in Category:Musicals but are in Category:1920
 * cow*
 * Find articles whose title or text contains words that start with cow

prefix:
The prefix: syntax in its current form is relied upon for a bunch of functionality so it's been recreated as exactly as possible.
 * prefix:cow
 * Find articles whose title starts with cow in the content namespaces
 * domestic prefix:cow
 * Find articles whose title starts with cow and that contain domestic and are in the content namespaces
 * domestic prefix:cow/
 * Find all subarticles of all cow articles in content namespaces that contain the word domestic. This is a very common search and is frequently built using a special url parameter called 'prefix'.
 * domestic prefix:Talk:cow/
 * Find all subarticles of the talk page for cow containing domestic
 * cow prefix:Pink Floyd/
 * Find all subarticles of all Pink Floyd articles in the content namespaces which contain cow. The space is is significant.

Note that the old rule of having to put prefix: at the end of the query still applies.

Special prefixes

 * morelike:Endothermic
 * Find articles whose text is similar to Endothermic.
 * Talk:Foo
 * Find articles in the talk namespace whose title or text contains the word foo

Did you mean
Did you mean suggestions are designed to notice if you misspell an uncommon phrase that happens to be an article title. If so, they'll let you know. They also seem to suggest more things then they ought to sometimes.

Prefer phrase matches
If you don't have too much special syntax in your query we'll give perfect phrase matches a boost. I'm being intentionally vague because I'm not sure exactly what "too much special syntax" should be. Right now if you add any explicit phrases to your search we'll turn off this feature.

Fuzzy search
Putting a ~ after a search term activates fuzzy search. You can also put a number from 0 to 1 to control the "fuzziness" fraction, e.g. nigtmare~.9 or lighnin~.1 or lighnin~0.1. Closer to one is less fuzzy.

Phrase search and proximity
Surrounding some words with quotes declares that you are searching for those words close together. You can add a ~ and then a number after the second quote to control just how close you mean. The proper name for this "closeness" is "phrase slop". The default "phrase slop" is 1.

Quotes and exact matches
Quotes turn on exact term matches. You can add a ~ to the quote to go back to the more aggressive matcher you know and love.

prefer-recent:
You can give recently edited articles a boost in the search results by adding "prefer-recent:" to the beginning of your search. By default this will scale 60% of the score exponentially with the time since the last edit with a half life of 160 days. This can be modified like this: "prefer-recent:,". proportion_of_score_to_scale must be a number between 0 and 1 inclusive. half_life_in_days must be greater than 0 but allows decimal points. This number works pretty well if very small. I've tested it around .0001 which is 8.64 seconds.

This will eventually be on by default for Wikinews, but there is no reason why you can't activate it in any of your searches.

hastemplate:
You can filter pages to just those that use a template by adding  to the search. We try to emulate the template inclusion syntax so  finds pages with   and   would find transclusions of the article   from the main namespace. You can omit the quotes if the template's title you are looking for does not contain a space. will filter pages that contain that template.

You can combine all sorts of fun search syntax to get only middle quality images of china.

boost-templates:
You can boost pages scores based on what templates they contain. This can be done directly in the search via  or you can set the default for all searches via the new   message. replaces the contents of  if the former is specified. The syntax is a bit funky but was chosen for simplicity. Some examples:
 * Find files in the China category sorting quality images first.
 * Find files in the China category sorting quality images first.


 * Find files in the China category sorting quality images first and low quality images last.
 * Find files in the China category sorting quality images first and low quality images last.


 * Find files about popcorn sorting quality images first and low quality images last. Remember that through the use of the  message this can be reduced to just.
 * Find files about popcorn sorting quality images first and low quality images last. Remember that through the use of the  message this can be reduced to just.

Don't try to add decimal points to the percentages. They don't work and search scoring is such that they are unlikely to matter much.

A word of warning about : if you add really really big or small percentages they can poison the full text scoring. Think, for example, if enwiki boosted featured articles by a million percent. Then searches for terms mentioned in featured articles would find the featured articles before exact title matches of the terms. Phrase matching would be similarly blown away so a search like  would find a featured article with those words scattered throughout it instead of the article for Brave New World.

Sorry for the inconsistent  in the name. Sorry again but the quotes are required on this one. Sorry also for the funky syntax. Sorry we don't try to emulate the template transclusion syntax like we do with.
