Description Brion Vibber 2006-12-19 18:49:01 UTC
https: links cannot be searched via Special:Linksearch; no results are returned.

This appears to be because the el_index field is blank for https entries.

Recommended fix: fill out el_index for https (and others?) as it is done for http.
Comment 1 Rob Church 2006-12-19 18:54:11 UTC
wfMakeUrlIndex() in includes/GlobalFunctions.php includes these lines:

if ( !$bits || $bits['scheme'] !== 'http' ) {
	return false;
}
Comment 2 Walter Vermeir 2007-03-16 11:14:48 UTC
I was going to submit the same problem but have found this ticket. 

On NL Wikipedia someone had posted a fake "donate to Wikipedia"-link in an article. 
Url's to http://wwww.paypal.com can be found with the [[Special:Linksearch]] function 
but still not "https"-versions. Please add this.

And maybe also include some other protocols like:
gopher://
ftp://
irc://
Comment 3 Raimond Spekking 2007-03-16 22:02:05 UTC
Fixed with r20530. Searching now for http/https/ftp/irc/news available (gopher
seems me to old/not relevant).

Please note, that existing weblinks other than http are not indexed (el_index)
until the link is edited and the paged is saved again.
Comment 4 Raimond Spekking 2007-03-19 16:20:42 UTC
Reworked with r20561. Works now for all protocols definded in $wgUrlProtocols
incl. email.
