Description

I got an idea, that if a "Go"-search fails, a some sort of reverse search, based on language links on articles is made. So if you for example enters "Osthyvel" in the search box on the English wikipedia, you will end up on [[w:en:Cheese slicer]], as it has a language link to [[w:sv:Osthyvel]], even though there are no redirect at [[w:en:Osthyvel]].

I'm not sure why this was marked resolved as "later." Re-opening.

Moving this to 'later' as we won't have time to work on this anytime soon, and, as this has been around since 2007, it looks like not many folks are that interested in it.
