I've checked in a few quick tweaks to cvs, just fyi:
* wfCheckLimits() function factors out some of the
$offset/$limit-checking common to a lot of special pages
* some old str_replace("$1"...wfMsg()) sequences replaced with
wfMsg("...","...")
* Preliminary support for mysql4 fulltext boolean mode search (not done
yet: need to split up terms for highlighting and make sure intl
conversion is done)
* Very preliminary patches for adding license fields to the image table.
Not even checked for syntax, and not supported by any code yet.
Just a quick though also: it _would_ be nice to be able to search for eg
"C++" or "C#". Mysql's fulltext search I don't think will preserve
these, but in theory we can armor them the same way we do for utf-8
high characters.
Also: http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Fulltext_Search.html
scroll down for the boolean mode notes. For people used to google-style
searches (or our current search method), the default behavior being
'or' instead of 'and' may be confusing. We could force adding +s to the
search terms to change the behavior, but this could be tricky to do
right, and we'd probably want a way to undo it.
Also, the phrase search ("foo bar") may be problematic with our handling
of links, where "biz [[foo|bar]] bax" is indexed as "biz foo bar bax"
and "biz [[foo]]bar bax" as "biz foo foobar bax" or some such.
Current cvs running on test.wikipedia.org.
