The TitleKey extension provides a case-insensitive title prefix search. It uses a separate table for the keys, so if it works cleanly it can be deployed without an expensive rebuild of core tables, and dumped when Wikimedia gets a nicer backend through MWSearch extension.

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 place the file(s) in a directory called TitleKey in your extensions/ folder.
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php:

  require_once "$IP/extensions/TitleKey/TitleKey.php";
  $wgEnableMWSuggest = true; #Not needed if using MediaWiki 1.20+
  

• 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

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

Troubleshooting

If you put, e.g., require_once( "/home/stauffenbergssh/extensions/TitleKey/TitleKey.php" ); you might get "Failed opening required '/home/stauffenbergssh/extensions/TitleKey/../../maintenance/Maintenance.php'"". To fix it, you would put a copy of the Titlekey directory under your wiki extensions folder (rather than in an extensions folder outside of webroot).
