I was just wondering if I can enhance the search facility in MediaWiki, like returning a suggested Result Set closest to the Search Key instead of return 0 results page.
For eg. I have created the ff: articles,
Guidelines to Database Management
Guidelines to SQL Reporting
But when I try to search just by entering Guidelines, instead of showing me or suggesting me something close, it returns 0 results prompting me if I want to create it.
Would it be a little suggestive, can I make it be a little suggestive?
Try installing Lucene in place of the default MediaWiki search engine, which merely does MySQL full-text indexing. Lucene not only would solve the above problem, it also would work if you'd mistyped "Guidlines" and ask, "Did you mean 'Guidelines'?"

Lucene is nontrivial to install, but the results are well worth it.
