Hi @karapayneWMDE later today, I'm making a config change which will mean Wikidata is the only Wikimedia project that does not use the Vue search. I think the timeline is dependent on you. Ideally, I would like to drop support for the old search now, which would mean that Wikidata for the modern Vector skin would have no autocomplete functionality. This might be okay, as Wikidata currently doesn't have the new Vector set as the default skin, but I want to double-check that with you. If you want more time, I can offer 3 months maximum at this point, after which I'd feel uncomfortable maintaining the old search with the new skin. According to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Reading/Web/Desktop_Improvements, we are looking to make the new skin the default on all wikis by the end of the year, so ideally we need to make the search compatible with Wikidata before the end of the year. The main blocker for this is having a functioning search API that returns results for queries such as https://wikidata.org/w/rest.php/v1/search/title?q=Q3&limit=10. It's also acceptable for Wikidata to provide its own API if that is preferred - the search API is configurable and we can point to any service you want to, provided the response is consistent with that APIs specification. Let me know if you want to chat through this in a video call with a WMDE Engineer TASK DETAIL https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T275251 EMAIL PREFERENCES https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/ To: Jdlrobson Cc: karapayneWMDE, GreenReaper, R4356th, despens, darthmon_wmde, WMDE-leszek, daniel, sdkim, alexhollender, LGoto, Yair_rand, MPhamWMF, ovasileva, Addshore, Lydia_Pintscher, Aklapper, Jdlrobson, Patafisik_WMF, Invadibot, Selby, caldera, maantietaja, Akuckartz, Demian, WDoranWMF, holger.knust, EvanProdromou, DannyS712, Nandana, Lahi, Gq86, GoranSMilovanovic, QZanden, LawExplorer, Winter, JJMC89, Iniquity, _jensen, rosalieper, Agabi10, Scott_WUaS, Pchelolo, Volker_E, Niedzielski, Izno, Wikidata-bugs, aude, GWicke, Dinoguy1000, Mbch331, Jay8g
