The log search form at http://toolserver.org/~delinker/index.php is really picky about filenames, and rather uninformative when it doesn't find a match. I'd like to suggest at least the following improvements:
- Treat spaces and underscores in filenames as equivalent.
- Treat the first letter of the filename as case-insensitive.
- Optionally, apply other MediaWiki title normalization steps (see Title::secureAndSplit()).
- If no matches are found and the file name contains a colon, suggest searching without the (presumed) namespace prefix.
- When showing search results, prefill the input field with the filename searched for.
- If possible, provide a "next page" link if there are more results than fit on the page.
