> "Everything" can't include Howling and Howling talk on our wiki. Is there some way we can get "Everything" redefined?

Hmmmmm..... that's a tricky one. I'm pretty sure that the way it works now is the way it worked before (except that they're now tabs at the top instead of links at the bottom). Let me know if I'm wrong on that. "Everything" means everything, and is defined by MediaWiki, so it might not be easy to adjust that. What did you do before? :-\

The namespaces that are included in the Content tab can be adjusted on a wiki-by-wiki basis. Just write to us at Special:Contact with a list of namespaces you prefer that readers be able to search by default. It looks like Tardis may have been searching main/blog/user_blog for awhile, according to our changelogs. Do you know when you last contacted us about that?

Search Preferences are not currently working with the new implementation, and we're investigating possibilities.
