We have some trouble with prefix. All examples from dewiki: > ```TMg prefix:Benutzer Diskussion:TMg``` was valid in the old search. According to Help:CirrusSearch it should be the same in the new search → bug. > ```TMg prefix:"Benutzer Diskussion:TMg"``` should be possible if the space does have a different meaning now → missing feature. > ```TMg prefix:Benutzer``` does not work but ```TMg prefix:Benutzer:``` does → missing feature. It looks like some of this comes from us not doing the space to underscore transformation. The rest looks like a prefix match on namespace. That might be more complicated.
Change 111204 had a related patch set uploaded by Manybubbles: Handle space in namespace prefixed searches https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/111204
Patch handles first case but not others so setting back to assigned.
Change 111210 had a related patch set uploaded by Manybubbles: Trim quotes from prefix: search https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/111210
Neither of the patches on this bug handle the last issue but I'm not actually sure what the user thinks is wrong there so I've gone back to them on the talk page at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Thread:Talk:Search/prefix:_search_for_localized_namespaces_broken/reply_%282%29

Looks like the last point wasn't really a bug, more of a feature request that is unfortunately complicated. I'm happy to be wrong, in which case I'll open another bug. For now, though, I'm marking this one resolved.
(In reply to Nik Everett from comment #4) > last issue [...] I'm not actually sure what the user thinks is wrong there You are right, the last issue doesn't make much sense since it could mean two things: Search in that namespace or search for articles with that prefix. I think it's more sane to do the later. Thank you very much for the fixes!
Thanks for working patiently with me to get the changes figured out and for verifying them!
