User blog comment:Dopp/Updates to How We Search/@comment-188432-20120507134848

One thing that seems totally gone is the ability to search to an article on another wiki. It used to be possible to enter  into the search bar on any wiki and get to tardis:Doctor Who. This was really useful. Can't tell you how many times I've been writing an article and needed to know a detail from w:c:blackadder or w:c:starwars or w:c:memoryalpha. With the old search functionality, I could find a particular page anywhere on wikia from the search bar. Now I can't.

This change would seem to entirely contradict the philosophy of making Wikia one big happy community of wikis. It worries me that this functionality isn't even mentioned in the above blue box of issues that are on your radar to be fixed.
