Description

Special:LinkSearch no longer filters by path.

Example:
It was possible to put e.g. "*.toolserver.org/~username" there and it would return the list of tools by given username. Now it returns every single link linking to toolserver.org.

It works alright if you don't have the "*." at the start

Right, but it's a bit unpractical, when there are 3(protocols)×2(www) posssibilities, how to link there, so you have to perform 6 searches and combine the results together.

"*.toolserver.org/~username" should return:

toolserver.org/~username
http://toolserver.org/~username
https://toolserver.org/~username
www.toolserver.org/~username
http://www.toolserver.org/~username
https://www.toolserver.org/~username

(which it does)

but not
http://toolserver.org/~otheruser
etc.

(which it does as well now but should not)

Sure, hence I didn't close the bug as RESOLVED WORKSFORME ;)
