Searching for pages -- in any namespace -- on the Simple English Wiktionary brings up titles from the English Wiktionary, regardless of whether they exist locally. This happens in both the drop-down list of suggested titles *and* the separate results page. I have uploaded to Commons some screen captures of an example: The following is a screen capture of the search results for "cursor" on simple.wiktionary https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Simplewikt-search2.png None of the items in the drop-down list exist on simple.wiktionary Highlighted in red is the entry for "hover", which contains the word "cursor" in a definition about computing. It states that the page was last changed on 14:37, 9 December 2013. The local entry for "hover" has never contained the word "cursor". It doesn't correspond with anything that was in the search results, and the latest revision was made on 21 November 2012. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Simplewikt-search1.png https://simple.wiktionary.org/wiki/hover The page that appears in the results is hosted on en.wiktionary I've highlighted the definition that appears in the results and the timestamp. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Simplewikt-search3.png This problem was reported on the wiki in October 2013, but we have really low traffic so it could have started months before that. https://simple.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?diff=280926&oldid=280873
I think we might still have this problem with the new search too :\
Verified as an issue in CirrusSearch. Categorising appropriately.
So this actually isn't an issue in Cirrus, I was wrong and so was Dan. Moving back to lsearchd and WONTFIXing.
