Description T. Gries 2011-06-13 15:41:48 UTC 
By current default, the Vector skin does not use the simplified search box. To take advantage of the simplesearch feature one must add this to your LocalSettings.php file:

$wgVectorUseSimpleSearch = true;

In this bug I suggest to change the default for new installation and users to $wgVectorUseSimpleSearch = true;

1. I am interested to know the reason why the default was/is set to 'false'?
2. Do you agree if I change the default to 'true' ?

CC-ing myself
Comment 2 Brion Vibber 2011-06-13 16:52:59 UTC 
Adding bug 23985 as dependency -- is this still going on?
Comment 3 Niklas Laxström 2012-02-22 09:09:42 UTC 
Is bug 23985 really a blocker for this? It doesn't cause any functional issues as far as I know, many wikis are happily using simple search.

Yeah, including Wikimedia.

* Enabled by default in core: I418cd542 
* Removed comment in Vector/README: Id57a36c3

Also note that the clash with mediawiki.legacy.mwsuggest, aside from being fixed long ago, becomes no longer relevant with its pending removal (bug 40448).
Comment 6 Krinkle 2012-09-23 02:42:23 UTC 
(moving to core as the feature's state is determined by core, the Vector extension merely enhances it)
