User blog comment:Daniel Baran/Search Developments: Big Picture/@comment-1401334-20120509215651

The recent changes to the search page make it so that the default is to only show results from the content namespace, regardless of what the user has chosen on his/her Special:Preferences page.

This is extremely unhelpful and slightly ironic, considering the claim of tuning to "ensure your search yields the best and most pertinent content that exists." If I search for a template page using the exact name of the template, I expect to land on the template page, not on a search results page claiming "No results found."

Please correct this so that it obeys the user's chosen perferences.
