Note: I'm not sure if this bug should belong to translatewiki or MediaWiki. If you think that it should be moved, just do it! Description: [[gerrit:94064]] added an external link to translatewiki.net to every message in Special:AllMessages. While this change is a very good idea, the produced links are completely broken. Below are some examples. == Example 1 == Message ID: abusefilter-changeslist-examine Link: https://th.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:AllMessages&prefix=abusefilter-changeslist-examine&filter=all&lang=th&limit=500 Link to translatewiki: https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special%3ASearchTranslations&group=mediawiki&grouppath=mediawiki&query=language%3Ath^25+messageid%3A%22MediaWiki%3AAbusefilter-changeslist-examine%22^10+%22examine%22 Generated query: language:th^25 messageid:"MediaWiki:Abusefilter-changeslist-examine"^10 "examine" Results (failed): 1) examine - MediaWiki:Abusefilter-changeslist-examine/en 2) Examine individual changes - MediaWiki:Abusefilter-examine/en 3) Examine past edits - MediaWiki:Abusefilter-topnav-examine/en ... There is no MediaWiki:abusefilter-changeslist-examine/th in the result at all. == Example 2 == Message ID: MediaWiki:Anonnotice Link: https://th.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:AllMessages&prefix=Anonnotice&filter=all&lang=th&limit=500 Link to translatewiki: https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special%3ASearchTranslations&group=mediawiki&grouppath=mediawiki&query=language%3Ath^25+messageid%3A%22MediaWiki%3AAnonnotice%22^10+%22-%22 Generated query: language:th^25 messageid:"MediaWiki:Anonnotice"^10 "-" Results (failed): 1) 10. - MediaWiki:Oct/cs 2) 10 - MediaWiki:Oct/ko 3) Button label, 25 characters maximum - MediaWiki:Donate interface-monthly-donation/qqq There is no MediaWiki:Anonnotice/th in the result at all. ================================================= My observation: The solr search does not yield consistent results at all. Last month (June 25, 2014), I encountered this bug and attempted to solve it ([[gerrit:141728]]). Although my patch was not okay, I finally found the cause of the problem. That is, searching with query string (for example, https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special%3ASearchTranslations&group=mediawiki&grouppath=mediawiki&query=language%3Ath^25+messageid%3A%22MediaWiki%3AAbusefilter-changeslist-examine%22^10+%22examine%22) yielded wrong results, while searching via search box (for example, language:th^25 messageid:"MediaWiki:Abusefilter-changeslist-examine"^10 "examine") yielded correct results. Even worse, now (July 25, 2014), both ways yield wrong results!
translatewiki.net is no longer using Solr since https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/145437/ (cf. bug 52993 - Add support for ElasticSearch backend for ttmserver). I confirm my two examples on [[gerrit:94064]] don't work any longer. Niklas, is that syntax supposed to work with the new scheme, or does it still need to be reimplemented?
It has not been implemented for ES. It is possible to implement it with some manual query parsing as we don't expose the full query syntax with ES.
