Created attachment 16555 [details] Searching category with no red link suggestion When looking for an unexistent category, the searching tool doesn't point to the red link, which is usually suggested when searching other namespaces. (attachment 1 [details]). When We use ":" in the beginning of the sentence, the red link appears, but there is no more similar pages on searching results. (attachment 2 [details]).
Created attachment 16556 [details] Searching category with ":" but no similar results That would be "attachment 2 [details]"
Cirrus tries to be smart and only offer you the red link when you haven't used any special syntax in your search. An example of when it is sensible is when you search for <<incategory:foo bar>>. You don't want to offer to create a page of that name because that is special syntax. The problem is that ! is syntax! It excludes pages that contain the term following it from the results. I wonder if I can disable it for languages were words (or at least titles) might legitimately start with !. Which language is this?
