Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):
- Search for -intitle:"LL-Q" on Wikimedia Commons (link)
- Click on Audio and sort by recency
What happens?:
There are lots of files with "LL-Q" in the title so the search operator does not work. It does work only if -intitle:"LL" but that also excludes other audio files with LL in the title.
See the help page on searching WMC.
What should have happened instead?:
The filter should work and the files with LL-Q in the title be excluded from the results.
Software version (on Special:Version page; skip for WMF-hosted wikis like Wikipedia):
Other information (browser name/version, screenshots, etc.):
I found this because I went to the page that shows new audio files which is cluttered with audio files of brief pronunciations usually titled "LL-Q…" and there is no way to filter the results in any way except for excluding bot uploads. The above is a way to view recent audio uploads with filters (here trying to filter away some of the pronunciation files to e.g. view audio files of music and more to e.g. spot copyvios or explore which kinds of audio files are getting uploaded to WMC).
Edit: here is the query that filters out these LL-Q files using regex (it currently seems to load fast enough, please edit this link if it can be improved)
