I've just had a mediawiki server with 3 wikis running on it dumped in my lap to support. The search box was using CirrusSearch and ElasticSearch / Elastica to generate results, but that was recently broken when the security team did some sort of log4j remediation.
So, I've removed most traces of CirrusSearch / ElasticSearch and now have just the bare-bones MediaWiki search working. As you are all likely aware, the built-in search is lacking, so I'm trying to get the search extensions working again by following theinstall guide.
I'm up to the step where it has me edit LocalSettings.php to add " wfLoadExtension( 'Elastica' ); ", but when I do this, the wiki using that settings file no longer loads. All I get is a blank page served. Not even broken html if I view the page source. Nothing.
Of course, I'd love to bring everything up to more current versions, but I'd like to get back to functional before I tackle that massive ball of version dependencies.
