Today I was trying to find an nLab article on Lp spaces, and tried doing a search on “L^p space”, which came up empty. (I didn’t think to try “L-p space”, and I didn’t remember it was called Lebesgue space.) So I tried to edit in a redirect to L^p space at Lebesgue space, but I don’t think it worked. I hope I didn’t inadvertently mess anything up as a result. I figure that carets cause a hiccup for page names.
The problem is in the search, not the page. The internal search uses regular expressions and ^
is a special character that matches the start of a line. In some regular expressions then it reverts to matching just ^
when used in the middle of a pattern, but clearly this isn’t the case here. So L^p space
is looking to match:
L
p space
The way to get round this is to escape the ^
: if you search for L\^p space
then you get taken straight to L^p space (as it’s the only match; all the other pages have $L^p$ space
).
Nice to know, Andrew. Thanks!
