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[edit]
- Download and place the file(s) in a directory called
TitleKey
in yourextensions/
folder. - Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php:
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.
To users running MediaWiki 1.27 or earlier:
The instructions above describe the new way of installing this extension using wfLoadExtension()
.
If you need to install this extension on these earlier versions (MediaWiki 1.27 and earlier), instead of wfLoadExtension( 'TitleKey' );
, you need to use:
require_once "$IP/extensions/TitleKey/TitleKey.php";
Known problems[edit]
- It breaks VisualEditor autocompletion for templates (see topic).
