Add "search headings only" option
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

There was a request on dewiki to add a function that enables searching headlines, but not contents. By headlines, I don't mean the page title, but the "== Heading ==" stored in the wikitext.
This is probably not trivial to implement, as it requires parsing the wikitext and storing the headings separately in the database. However, such a feature would make sense if it existed.

bzimport raised the priority of this task from to Low.Nov 21 2014, 10:36 PM
bzimport set Reference to bz18152.
bzimport added a subscriber: Unknown Object (MLST).

Changing priority to low, as it is probably difficult to implement and not really urgent or outstandingly important imho.

The use cases for this feature (e.g. finding a discussion about a particular user) are better served by more targeted feature development rather than a quick fix like this. This is especially true in light of the move to Flow for our discussion systems, rendering a search system like this partially obsolete.

Changing to RESOLVED WONTFIX accordingly.
