Description

When searching for "Wikpédia:Évfordulók" (note the missing i) on the Hungarian Wikipedia, the "did you mean" feature suggests "Wikipedia:Évfordulók" (note the missing accent) instead of the correct "Wikipédia:Évfordulók". Since the accentless version is almost never used on huwiki, this is clearly wrong. (And quite confusing: wikipedia is an interwiki prefix, so the link will point to enwiki.) The behavior seems somewhat random: "Wikpédia:Foo" will correctly suggest "Wikipédia:Foo".

Links: [[hu:Special:Search/Wikpédia:Évfordulók]], [[hu:Special:Search/Wikpédia:Foo]]

All the more surprising because [[hu:Wikipédia:Évfordulók]] exists, while [[hu:Wikipédia:Foo]] and [[hu:Wikipédia:Fo]] does not.

Tisza: Entering

Wikpédia:Évfordulók

in the search box on hu.wikipedia.org, I get

Keresési javaslat: Wikipédia:Évforduló
(Did you mean?:)

so this seems to be obsolete nowadays? Or is there another way to reproduce this?

It is somewhat random and changing in time which search terms reproduce this, but it is still reproducible, e.g. ([[hu:Special:Search/Wikpédia:Jelölt lapváltozatok]]). (Again, this is an exisiting page, apart from the typo in the namespace.)

I've been unable to reproduce this bug in CirrusSearch. You said the bug was intermittent, so I tried several times over the course of a few days. CirrusSearch has much better support for non-English languages than Lucene, so this issue should hopefully be fixed by CirrusSearch.

Given that we're migrating from Lucene to CirrusSearch, I'm marking this as RESOLVED WONTFIX.
