Forum:Monaco search box namespace order

The Monaco search box seems to check every namespace for a perfect page name match before eventually showing page text results. What is the order in which it goes through the namespaces? Does it cover every namespace, even talk pages?--AB 19:24, October 16, 2009 (UTC)


 * I think (just a guess though), that it'll go through the namespace by their number (     =     ). Again, I think so, can't confirm it. Mark (Talk) • (Contribs) 19:27, October 16, 2009 (UTC)


 * Your personal preferences as to which namespaces (including talk pages) get searched can be configured via Special:Preferences. As far as order of search is concerned I just ran a quick a test with the identical page name used in Main and Project namespaces and the Main namespace page was returned. I suppose that if you were a patient soul you could test this with each and every namespace to answer your own question.
 * A little known trick with the Monaco search box is to replace the default grey text with a space character (a simple delete is not sufficient) and searching on that will open the advanced search page and from there you can search for some string and this advanced search will return
 * all matching pages
 * as well as all matching occurrences within all page content
