Description Tisza Gergő 2010-09-26 12:56:26 UTC 
If you enter a word countaining accents (such as "árvíztűrő") into the search box on hu.m.wikipedia.org, one of three things can happen (apparently at random):
* it reloads the current page
* it shows an empty page with an error message (something about mobile wikipedia page still being under developement and having recorded the problem)
* it shows the start page of non-mobile version (very bad! also, this is far more frequent than the other two)
Sometimes the error page is shown for a second then it jumps to the non-mobile start page.

I could only test these on online simulators ( http://www.opera.com/mobile/demo/ and http://www.testiphone.com ) but we got reports from actual mobile users too.

This is a recurrence of an older problem. It was fixed at some time....
Comment 2 Dmitrij Rodionov 2010-10-01 16:39:06 UTC 
We have the same reports on ru.m.wikipedia.org. For example user tries to look for the article "Хищники". Search page http://ru.m.wikipedia.org/wiki?search=%D1%85%D0%B8%D1%89%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%B8 shows a page with an error message ("Mobile Wikipedia is still under development and we are trying to correct 
our errors...") and then redirects to the main page of non-mobile page.
Comment 3 Hampton Catlin 2010-10-14 16:15:15 UTC 
I am entirely unable to replicate this. Has it resolved itself?
Comment 4 Tisza Gergő 2010-10-14 18:06:30 UTC 
Apparently yes; it works correctly now in the simulators I mentioned.
