Details

This is useful for anything that uses the Opensearch API[2] for searching page title names[3], since only the first character of the query is case-insensitive when using this search method. The Opensearch API wiki page suggests installing and enabling the TitleKey extension[4] to enable case-insensitive search.

For example, the supybot-ALwiki plugin[1] makes use of this API in order to implement the !aw $searchterm functionality for phrik[5].
Ideally, this will make the ALwiki plugin much more useful in the IRC channels where phrik is joined.


Example cases:

Q: "ESP"
R: "ESP - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ESP";

Q: "esp"
R: "No results found."

Q: "Esp"
R: "No results found."

Q: "eSP"
R: "ESP - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ESP";

Q: "EFI System Partition"
R: "EFI System Partition - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/EFI_System_Partition";

Q: "EFI System partition"
R: "No results found."

Q: "EFI system Partition"
R: "No results found."

alad basically said okay to this:

1:33:15 PM - alad: eschwartz, add extension bloat just because phrik sucks, idk
1:34:25 PM - alad: wait, mediawiki's own api suggests to use that extension
1:39:54 PM - alad: I find it silly that to unbreak a broken api you now need to maintain and install an extra extension
1:39:59 PM - alad: but it's up to florian/pierre anyway

I have to agree mediawiki is pretty wrong here, but on the other hand this is pretty valuable functionality...
