All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XXI

[GethN7]

Advanced Search can be added by any bureaucrat, we'd need to request the CirrusSearch thing if we want that, and it will work without that, so we can just enable the extension in the ManageWiki settings since it's provided as an extension we can enable and disable at will.

I didn't see it when I went looking - which tab is it under? EDIT: Never mind - I just found it, and activated it on the freebie wiki. Looks like it takes a while to load, at least for the first time. RE-EDIT: More than just "a while". at this rate. Logging of for the evening now; let me know whether the freebie wiki's search page gets the extension any time soon.

I just enabled it for ATT as well, and according to the documentation, this is normal, it essentially needs to have the backend servers update to accommodate for it. If it's not working after 24 hours, I'll give the Miraheze staff a heads up.

Got it working on ATT, try typing something in the search bar, it should flush the loading bar and it works just fine.

NOTES: Due to the fact we do NOT have Cirrus Search, the "Structure" Search settings in Advanced Search are kinda useless, but the other advanced search options work just fine. Considering this lets our searches for certain page text be finer-grained than before, that's still an improvement. We also can search for specific file types by size (width and height), which regular search did not let us specify.
