Do you have a mockup of what the finished product would be? I would like to include this info in the LearnWiki scripts; I'm hoping that the finished modules will be available sometime in 2017, likely after these search improvements have been rolled out.
Alternatively, if the situation is still in flux, maybe it would make sense for me to postpone writing about the Commons search page for a few months until these improvements are done. Will the changes to the interface be done by the end of Q3?
