TASK DESCRIPTION As an editor, I want to easily access not just Items but also Lexemes, Properties and Entity Schemas from the main search in order to have access to all content on Wikidata. **Problem:** Right now, the main search in Wikidata.org provides an easy type-ahead search solution that facilitates finding Items. Nevertheless, the search does not provide suggestions for Lexemes, Properties and Entity Schemas. In order to search for those entity types, users need to input "P:", "L:" and "E:" in front of their search terms and then access the Special:Search upon pressing enter or using the menu's footer. This is not a good experience, as it hinders findability. Research has shown that people are not able to figure out how to search for Lexemes for example. **Solution:** After some design iteration, an initial solution was validated in a round of usability testing (T329706 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T329706>). The feedback and data gathered as part of said investigation will allow iterating and delivering a design solution for the new, extended main Wikidata search. **Screenshots/mockups:** | Design specifications will be added here | | **Acceptance criteria:** - The new design solution that enables users to also easily find Properties, Lexemes and Entity Schemas is fully specified **Open questions:** **Notes:** TASK DETAIL https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T334921 EMAIL PREFERENCES https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/ To: Sarai-WMDE Cc: Lydia_Pintscher, Aklapper, Arian_Bozorg, Sarai-WMDE, Astuthiodit_1, karapayneWMDE, Invadibot, maantietaja, ItamarWMDE, Akuckartz, Nandana, Lahi, Gq86, GoranSMilovanovic, Mahir256, QZanden, LawExplorer, _jensen, rosalieper, Scott_WUaS, Wikidata-bugs, aude, Mbch331
