Hi Deb, I was trying to ask about the Commons file properties search features, but it is good to know about cross-wiki results too. Maybe it would be good for me to take a look at both of these feature sets in January 2017. If the features are still in beta at that time, that is OK and might actually be more helpful to me than mockups in the here and now.
