Details

Namespaces to be searched when user clicks the "Help" tab on Special:Search with the new search interface ($wgUseOldSearchUI = false;).

Same format as $wgNamespacesToBeSearchedDefault.

To have a working search header you have to take care of a few things:

• Namespaces you set in $wgNamespacesToBeSearchedHelp should not be set in $wgNamespacesToBeSearchedDefault.
  • Otherwise it will display the NS Selector under "Content pages"
• The order of the set namespaces in the array is important! Be sure to set them in the order of the namespace number. So e.g. not Help before Project.
  • Otherwise clicking "Help and Project pages" takes you to "Advanced"

Default value

$wgNamespacesToBeSearchedHelp = array(
	NS_PROJECT        => true,	
	NS_HELP           => true,
);
