OK, has to be fixed :-)

This wouldn't be possible for not logged in users. For logged in users this would need much effort to store the last search selection, e.g. add an additional column to the table wlprofile in the database. I don't think that the benefit will be worth the effort.

That is problem of the new search and what is meant with 'no possibility to give weights on particular fields'. If you search for 'building' the Title of an wiki article has the same 'weight' then the content of the article. The order of search results is arbitrary. We may could add an alphabetical order depending on the title of an article. But if you search for "building widelands" (including parentheses) the search result will be more accurate :-)

I think trimard finds a solution for this :-)

Also the 'Help' jalousie?

Thats doable.

'River' appears in the 'uploader comment' which is intended. We could include also the map description into the search results without much effort :-)
