When you trigger a search at wiki.debian.org, by default, it searches
for page's titles (URLs). This is only useful for English speakers, as
the base pages are in English, and the translated pages have to follow
the scheme concerning their URL address within the wiki

 base page: PackageManagement
 translated page: es/PackageManagement (for spanish)

Therefore, if I search for "gestión de paquetes" (the direct
translation), it shows nothing, as it is a good practice to keep the
original URL name (plus language code).
Changing the default behaviour would be useful for wiki users that don't
speak English.

I've noticed that search by text is still a bit weak, but little by
little I guess it can be fixed :).

Thanks, Omar

Hello:

Moinmoin19 gives me the same problems than the regular. Does it search
based on index?

Please, compare searches at

moinmoin:

guia del editor (search for text)

and google

site:wiki.debian.org guia del editor

As you would see, moinmoin is not reading the content if the new pages.

However, searching just for 'guia' in moinmoin19 doesn't redirect you to
the page aforementioned in wiki.debian.org.

I sent the bugs to the package wiki.debian.org. Which is the one upstream?

Thanks, Omar

Any reasonable future wiki engine will not have this problem.
Closing for now, as this problem should go away when the wiki
migration gets done.
