Description MER-C 2008-05-16 12:41:38 UTC It should be possible to search Wikipedia using Boolean operators, e.g. vanity AND NOT spam finds anything containing "vanity" but not "spam" (and definitely not the words "and" or "not"). This might need an "advanced search" form for a user-friendly implementation. Comment 1 Robert Stojnic 2008-05-16 12:47:13 UTC In current notation that would be: vanity -spam Although it's somewhat buggy ATM Comment 2 Andre Klapper 2013-03-26 11:25:20 UTC [Merging "MediaWiki extensions/Lucene Search" into "Wikimedia/lucene-search2", see bug 46542.
