What's the point of having a backlinks link on the search results page? Similarly, the "ID" gets cleaned so a search for "-import code @de" is shown in the title as "import_code_de".


I guess the most common type of search will be for a subject, and if a relevant page doesn't exist you'd want a convenient "Create this page" button to add it to the wiki. But edit, backlink, etc links for a complex query like the example above don't seem to make much sense.

I think a sensible behavior would be if the query is a single word or simple phrase then it can be treated as a possible page name. But if there are query operators (+ - AND OR | ns: @ ^) then don't clean the name or show the buttons that expect a valid ID. Instead the buttons could return to the last viewed page.
