Description Jonathan G. Lampe 2006-09-15 14:17:28 UTC

I like working with Wikis, but the search functions are among the worst
out there.

If you search for "moveit" or "moveit freely"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=moveit&go=Go
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&search=moveit
+freely&fulltext=Search

...it can't find:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOVEit_Freely

Also, notice that a Wiki direct link to "moveit_freely" comes up
empty...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/moveit_freely
(Yes, case sensitivity is evil.)

Keywords for people looking for similar bugs:
search case sensitive insensitive find

The page was recently created and is likely not yet in the search index.
