Forum:Cross-site search

The new cross-site search here on central is certainly an improvement, but it also means you can no longer access certain wikis or pages on central by directly by typing their name in the search box (e.g. try typing "w:c:fallout" or "Forum:Index") as you could before. Could this be improved? :) -- Porter21 (talk) 10:18, December 12, 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree with this. Even if you type a existing pagename, it still searches is wiki-wide. Mark (Talk) • (Contribs) 11:08, December 12, 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, this is annoying, can the "Go" button please make it "go" if it exists (especially as the pages that "go" goes to are often portal pages)? Random Time  15:59, December 12, 2009 (UTC)
 * It is a bother to access special pages by URL bar or Special:SpecialPages.--AB 02:29, December 15, 2009 (UTC)


 * Are you aware that Special:Search provides a checkbox to limit the scope to "Search Wikia Central Only"? -- najevi 12:14, December 15, 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, I am. It's still inconvenient (and unintuitive when coming from other Wikia sites) having to use a special page (or first searching, scrolling past the search results, checking the respective box and searching again) instead of simply being able to type the page name in the search box. Plus the interwiki links don't work with "limit to central" either. -- Porter21 (talk) 12:54, December 15, 2009 (UTC)
