Created attachment 5246 [details] Patch for special page Similar functionality to Special:Prefixindex, this special page looks for text at the end of a page title, instead of the beginning.
Created attachment 5247 [details] Add the actual page :) Somehow, svn diff forgot the special page itself.
this looks far too slow for any medium or large site; a query of the form LIKE '%foo' can't be indexed, it does a full table scan. one way to do this efficiently would be to store a list of all titles in reverse order (i.e. "Wikipedia" -> "aidepikiW") and do a prefix index with the reversed query (LIKE "%edia" -> LIKE "aide%") - such a query can be indexed as the initial part of the string is static. of course, this would need some kind of maintenance script to produce the initial title list.
I don't think we want extra indexes or maintenance scripts for such a rarely requested and apparently pointless feature.
