The VisualEditor insert media only searches commons. I have a media item called "WOM HighLevelDesign.png" but when searching for HighLevelDesign there are no results. Looking at the request in Firebug: Request: GET http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?callback=jQuery18305320913342615314_1392057641882&format=json&action=query&generator=search&gsrsearch=HighLevelDesign&gsrnamespace=6&gsrlimit=15&gsroffset=0&prop=imageinfo&iiprop=dimensions%7Curl&iiurlheight=150 HTTP/1.1 Host: commons.wikimedia.org User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:26.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/26.0 Accept: */* Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5 Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate Referer: http://opsdocs.carnival.com/index.php?title=Main_Page&veaction=edit Connection: keep-alive Response: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Via: 1.1 varnish, 1.1 varnish, 1.1 CCLPRDINFTMG3 Connection: Keep-Alive Proxy-Connection: Keep-Alive Content-Length: 110 Age: 0 Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2014 19:33:02 GMT Content-Type: text/javascript; charset=utf-8 Server: Apache Accept-Ranges: bytes X-Powered-By: PHP/5.3.10-1ubuntu3.9+wmf1 x-content-type-options: nosniff Cache-Control: private x-frame-options: SAMEORIGIN Vary: Accept-Encoding,X-Forwarded-Proto X-Vary-Options: Accept-Encoding;list-contains=gzip,X-Forwarded-Proto,Cookie;string-contains=commonswikiToken;string-contains=commonswikiLoggedOut;string-contains=forceHTTPS;string-contains=commonswikiSession;string-contains=centralauth_Token;string-contains=centralauth_Session;string-contains=centralauth_LoggedOut;string-contains=mf_useformat;string-contains=stopMobileRedirect X-Varnish: 2999015801, 4264856558 X-Cache: cp1055 miss (0), cp1052 frontend miss (0) jQuery18305320913342615314_1392057641882({"query":{"searchinfo":{"totalhits":0,"suggestion":"Hauserdesign"}}})
After cleaning my cache and setting $wgUseInstantCommons = false; the result is now as follows: GET /api.php?format=json&action=query&meta=filerepoinfo HTTP/1.1 Host: opsdocs.carnival.com User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:26.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/26.0 Accept: application/json, text/javascript, */*; q=0.01 Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5 Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest Referer: http://opsdocs.carnival.com/index.php?title=Main_Page&veaction=edit Cookie: wikidb796_session=86334fa21b8c09bd7c07958bdc0ac86e; wikidb796UserID=2; wikidb796UserName=CARNIVAL%5Crobertla; wikidb796Token=ceb473edd15eddf81147a6c9f583acf3; website#lang=en Connection: keep-alive HTTP/1.1 200 OK Cache-Control: private Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8 Vary: Accept-Encoding Server: Microsoft-IIS/8.0 X-Powered-By: PHP/5.3.24 x-content-type-options: nosniff x-frame-options: DENY Persistent-Auth: true Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2014 19:55:15 GMT Content-Length: 198 {"query":{"repos":[{"name":"local","displayname":null,"rootUrl":"/images","local":true,"url":"/images","thumbUrl":"/images/thumb","initialCapital":true,"scriptDirUrl":"","scriptExtension":".php"}]}}
After a bit of testing and fiddling around, there seems to be an issue with the API call itself and its response. The API returns a list of matches by complete words, and it seems that it considers the suffix as a word as well. So, in my local wiki I have an image "image of space.jpg". API calls: &gsrsearch=space.jpg --> 1 match &gsrsearch=space --> 0 matches &gsrsearch=image --> 1 matches &gsrsearch=from --> 0 matches &gsrsearch=image+from --> 1 match &gsrsearch=image+from+space --> 0 matches I am not sure if this is because of the specific query we use to search images or if this is an artefact of the API itself. I'm conducting further research. Robert, if you have time to test this, try to see if you get the image you are looking for when typing "HighLevelDesign.png" or "WOM". Are you getting the local image on those searches?
I've CC'd Nik Everitt, our CirrusSearch guru, to see if he can provide any insight.
Can you also add a direct link to the image?
Marking as INVALID; this isn't a bug in VisualEditor, but an artefact of the (not very good) search system in MediaWiki (and a continuing issue even with CirrusSearch).
