Intention: I was trying to search for the character "€" Steps to Reproduce: 1. search for the character "€" (without the quotes) using Firefox Actual Results: Error message saying "An error has occurred while searching: The search backend returned an error:" Expected Results: I expected to end up at our euro sign page. Failing that, I expect an informative error message. No matter what the cause was, you should not send a "The search backend returned an error" message to an end user. Reproducible: Always Tested with Firefox 27.0.1 under Windows XP, both with the latest version/updates. Happens every time. Tested with Opera 18.0.1284.68, Chrome 33.0.1750.146, and IE 8.0.6001.18702. Chrome and IE sent me to the Euro sign page after a redirect from the Unicode character. Firefox and Opera gave me the "An error has occurred while searching: The search backend returned an error:" message.
On what wiki? This is very likely the wrong component for the bug
This was on the English Wikipedia. (Goes back and checks submission form) It looks like I made an error and this should be under Wikimedia→lucene-search2 instead. Sorry about that. Do I need to do anything to move it? I just re-checked it, and it still throws the error. URL for the error page is https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=%E2%82%AC&title=Special%3ASearch&fulltext=Search if that is any help.
Confirming. No problems with https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=€&title=Special%3ASearch&fulltext=Search&srbackend=CirrusSearch so this will be fixed once CirrusSearch is our new default backend.
lsearchd bug per comment 3. moving and wontfixing like all the others.
