On https://pt.wikipedia.org, if I type "modulo" in the search box, I get the article "Módulo" as a suggestion, but if I type "modulo:string", there is no suggestion. Notice that there is a namespace called "Módulo" (in English, "Module"), and the page called "Módulo:String" exists.
Interesting - CirrusSearch does not provide any proposals at all: https://pt.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=modulo%3Astring&title=Especial%3APesquisar&srbackend=CirrusSearch
We're starting to try tracking stuff with phabricator so, for science!: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T720 This looks to be caused by how the namespaces are resolved: cirrus uses mediawiki to resolve the namespaces but lsearchd used lucene. Lets see what we can do about that.
One way to "fix" this right away would be add Modulo as a namespace alias for Módulo but I'll see if I can make it work in search.
Patch is coming along. Should be ready in a bit.

Change 168167 merged by jenkins-bot: Add hook to extract namespace in prefix search https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/168167
Resolved. It'll take some time for this to arrive on a wiki near you because it requires rebuilding the search index which has to come after the code is deployed.
