Thanks for the update, and zero need to be sorry.  Appreciate that report
and the grand work in the new indexing and searching functionality.

Without asking the community that I somewhat represent here, I believe
that English Wikisource would be a good place to test the Wikisources, as
one of the wikis that is upper-medium in size.  The Wikisources are looking
forward to testing the ability to have transcluded x-ns pages indexed
(Page: -> main) which is a particular advantage with the CirrusSearch
(which I successfully tested at test2wiki).

Regards, Billinghurst
