We currently have: "Containing..." in the search drop down. I think it would be a good idea to be able to add additional block(s) there. Primary function that I have in mind would be to add a: "Search Wikipedia Help" Apparently people have a lot of trouble actually "searching" our help pages. They don't easily arrive at the "advanced" tab of the search page, they miss the "Help" link in the toolbar etc.. I think it is crucially to provide proper search ability of our Help and guidelines pages and this might help.
Created attachment 13004 [details] Help containing Is my "help containing.png" the kind of thing you are thinking of? Another option would be to include the Help namespace in the default prefix search so a search for "editing" will include "Help:Editing." The second one is probably more easy to implement but would shove help articles into the user's face a bit more aggressively. I dunno if the search box is where people go for help, but it could certainly help them find it.
