Expand Up @@ -73,11 +73,20 @@ Browsing is flat today — Popular/Latest/All/Sticky/Pending on the overview
page, nothing that groups articles by topic. Would need a taxonomy (even a
simple one-tag-per-article model to start) and a browse-by-category view.

## Wiki-specific search

Check first whether phpBB's board-wide search already indexes the
`wiki_article` table at all — it's a non-standard table outside phpBB's
normal post/topic search index, so it likely doesn't, which would make this
a bug fix (get wiki content into existing search) as much as a feature
request. If it doesn't and can't reasonably be hooked in, a dedicated
wiki-scoped search page would be the fallback.
## Wiki search

Confirmed: wiki content is **not** in phpBB's board search at all. Checked
both ways — no search-related code anywhere in the extension, and live on
the test board, searching for a word that only exists in a live, approved
article's text ("trivial", from "Getting Started") returns zero matches.
`wiki_article` is a non-standard table outside phpBB's normal post/topic
search index, so this isn't surprising, but it does mean articles are
currently undiscoverable except by browsing the overview page or already
knowing the URL.

Two ways to close this, not mutually exclusive:

- Hook wiki content into phpBB's existing search backends, so it shows up
in normal board search alongside posts.
- A dedicated wiki-scoped search page/box, simpler to build but a second,
separate search UI for members to learn.
