Media settings search is incomplete

Hi all,

When I open Media settings (Insert -> Media) and type in "L" it says nothing found. If I type in "L3" it shows the correct PDF file. Is there a way to convince the wiki to list all the media starting with letter [a-z] or show all the available media? Because not every user knows exactly what he has to search for.

If I test with other Picture Database ($wgUseInstantCommons = true;) it works with only typing in one letter.

MediaWiki Version: 1.28.0

Well, that works on this wiki (after a delay). What happens in the regular Special:Search box, if you type in File:L? Does it list the files that you expect?

If you are not using CirrusSearch or another fulltext search engine, you have to use search parameter like "L3" or ~L

Hello i have same problem but even worse- images found only whet full file name is typed, otherwise it prints "No results found."

When search through regular search with "File:" prefix everything works good after first typed letter.

Try to use wildcards like M*. That may helps.
