Topic on Project:Village Pump

done. Thanks.

Hi all , on page => https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:CirrusSearch In first paragraph we say:

By default only the namespaces specified in your preferences will be searched. Logged-in users can change their preferences to specify the namespaces they want to search by default. This can be done by selecting and deselecting boxes in the ”search” section of user preferences.

But my user preferences in Search tab has no namespace for search ! Can some one correct please ? Thanks

This behavior was changed long ago: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T54817

Now (since 2014) the preference of namespaces to be searched by default is set on Special:Search itself and not in user preferences

Help:Searching probably needs updating too

ok both pages have been cleaned and the reference to the User Preference page for namespace setting has been deleted.
