Hi Pine,

If you're asking about the mocks for the cross-wiki search results, we have
a page describing the upcoming A/B tests for the display of the new search
results here
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Cross-wiki_Search_Result_Improvements/Testing>
and
the main discussion page is here
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Cross-wiki_Search_Result_Improvements>.

We hope to start testing the new cross-wiki search results this quarter;
but with the holidays and all, we might not begin testing until January
2017.

Hope that helps!

Cheers,

Deb
