https: links cannot be searched via Special:Linksearch; no results are returned.
This appears to be because the el_index field is blank for https entries.
Recommended fix: fill out el_index for https (and others?) as it is done for http.
Version: unspecified
Severity: normal

I was going to submit the same problem but have found this ticket.
On NL Wikipedia someone had posted a fake "donate to Wikipedia"-link in an article.
Url's to http://wwww.paypal.com can be found with the [[Special:Linksearch]] function
but still not "https"-versions. Please add this.
And maybe also include some other protocols like:
gopher://
ftp://
irc://
Fixed with r20530. Searching now for http/https/ftp/irc/news available (gopher
seems me to old/not relevant).
Please note, that existing weblinks other than http are not indexed (el_index)
until the link is edited and the paged is saved again.
Reworked with r20561. Works now for all protocols definded in $wgUrlProtocols
incl. email.
