Enable search box suggestions-as-you-type that match words or phrases anywhere in the page title

History

I've slightly modified the extension to enable suggestions-as-you-type for the search box that match a word or phrase anywhere in the page title, not just at the beginning. For instance, typing "baby strol" should bring up pages with titles "Plik-o-matic baby stroller 2003", "Swift Baby Stroller", "Zippy one hand fold baby stroller by inglesina - new 2005", etc. as seen in this example. Use the patch below and add the following lines to LocalSettings.php:

$wgEnableMWSuggest = true;
$wgEnableSphinxInfixSearch = true;

Note that this overrides $wgEnableSphinxPrefixSearch = true; (search suggestions matching the beginning of the page title only).
