July 1 Information

Problem with search

Not a question, just want to report a problem with search. I looked up the word "Yuvarani", and I got only the page with the Indian actress named Yuvarani, with no disambiguation link, although the word Yuvarani is the title of a section of the page "Maharaja" (royal title of crown princess).

This is not a problem, it's how it's meant to work. Are you talking about the search box in the top right of the page? If you type "Yuvarani" there and then select the word Yuvarani, you will be taken to the page with that name. If you want to find other instances of the word appearing in articles, such as your Maharaja example, you have to type the word and then select "search for pages containing Yuvarani" at the bottom of the list that appears. -- Viennese Waltz 12:24, 1 July 2022 (UTC) reply
Perhaps the actress page could do with a hatnote? Alansplodge ( talk) 17:02, 1 July 2022 (UTC) reply
