Revert removal of SpecialSearchNogomatch and deprecate for removal properly
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/320305 removed the hook SpecialSearchNogomatch. It did it without any prior deprecation, leaving references to it in hooks.txt. It wasn't mentioned in RELEASE-NOTES and mediawiki.org wasn't updated till I did it today -- https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Manual:Hooks/SpecialSearchNogomatch&curid=20309&diff=2420292&oldid=1421499

It's used in two extensions:

Please revert the change (some modification will probably be needed to put it back in the new/right place), deprecate it properly (annotating in RELEASE-NOTES and on the hook itself it's deprecated). Then optionally, update the usages in extensions, so it can be removed from MW core in a later release

Oh damn, sorry for merging this change. I'm pretty sure I searched for usages, but it turns out I did something wrong, as I searched again and found the usages, so it's clearly my fault :(
