[Wikitech-l] Search front-end switched to core UI Wikimedia-wide

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 LuceneSearch is dead, long live MWSearch! I've made a couple more cleanup fixes to the core search UI behavior, so namespace selections work more consistently, and have gone ahead and switched it in as the sole search interface on all Wikimedia wikis. This means the LuceneSearch extension is officially obsolete. The MWSearch extension provides a back-end plugin for MediaWiki's core search user interface, and all further front-end work should be done in core where it'll benefit everybody. Note that many Wikimedia sites have put in local JavaScript hacks to add extra external search options to the form; unfortunately they have used particular form IDs specific to the old, obsolete extension. I took the liberty of adapting the English Wikipedia's JS to work with either case: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=199925186&oldid=194328556 Please feel free to pass that fix on to other wikis. - -- brion vibber (brion @ wikimedia.org)
