--- Comment #5 from Nik Everett <[email protected]> ---
So I did a bit more digging and the way we do it now is to always search in the
commonswiki index if searching in the FILE namespace.  I'm pretty sure
something similar is the only way we're going to get the same kind of feature
out of CirrusSearch.  Indexing multiple copies of commons is just silly and
indexing just 

I don't really like the idea though because it makes commons special and it is
very WMF specific.  And it means one wiki would be talking to another wiki's
search index which makes rolling deploys very nasty indeed.

I wonder if we could implement this using an API request to commons wiki or
maybe just by providing a link to the same search in commons wiki.  That'd keep
rolling upgrades simpler.  Using the API wouldn't allow us to mix the search
results because scoring wouldn't be the same.  Actually, I'm pretty sure we'd
have the same problem if we tried to share commonswiki's search index too.

I'm going to set this bug aside for now while I think about what to do.
