Description Wiredtape 2008-01-26 18:30:37 UTC
currently ajaxsearch.js (mw/skins/common/) waits for 3 letters before executing the search.. It would be nice if this could be changed outside of the script without needing to edit it directly (and remembering not to overwrite it when updating)...

Patch to linker.php

I'm not sure if this works. It seems almost /too/ easy. Can someone more familiar with this part of the code take a look? Thanks.

Ignore all that. Wrong bug.
Comment 3 Brion Vibber 2008-12-28 22:04:59 UTC
The old ajax search has been retired, and the new one (mwsuggest) doesn't enforce a minimum in this way.
