$wgNamespacesToBeSearchedDefault=[NS_MAIN=>true,];

$wgNamespacesToBeSearchedDefault=array(-1=>0,0=>1,1=>0,2=>0,3=>0,4=>0,5=>0,6=>0,7=>0,8=>0,9=>0,10=>0,11=>0);

$wgNamespacesToBeSearchedDefault=array(-1=>0,0=>1,1=>0,2=>0,3=>0,4=>0,5=>0,6=>0,7=>0,8=>0,9=>1,10=>0,11=>1);

$wgNamespacesToBeSearchedDefault=array(-1=>0,0=>1,1=>0,2=>0,3=>0,4=>0,5=>0,6=>0,7=>0);

To add other namespaces you just add this to yourLocalSettings.php file, e.g. for the project namespace:

$wgNamespacesToBeSearchedDefault[NS_PROJECT]=true;

In MediaWiki 1.16 and later, adding or removing namespace will apply to all users.

In MediaWiki 1.15 and prior, adding or removing namespace will only affect anonymous users and accounts createdafter the change.
