            Bug ID: 62726
           Summary: CirrusSearch: If the search didn't find many results
                    then rerun the suggester with more time consuming
                    settings
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: CirrusSearch

After https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/119041/ we will be running the
suggester with faster, less accurate settings.  They'll be good enough to find
lots of suggestions, but not all.

Proposal: if the search didn't find many results then rerun the suggester with
more aggressive settings.  Stuff like:
prefix_length: 1,
max_errors: 3,
confidence: 1.1,

Also, we might want to only do this if the suggest run with the query didn't
find anything.  Not sure.  We could also check the score on the result and use
some cutoff.  Dunno.


Note: prefix_length and max_errors can cause much more CPU usage.  I'm
suggesting just a single notch more on each setting but that still would be
quite a bit.
