Hello again, This week saw a few updates from around the department. The big highlight is a first look at cross-wiki search.
== Highlights == * Inter-wiki search is here! An A/B test of a new search results page which includes inter-wiki search results was deployed to Persian, Italian, Catalan and Polish Wikipedias. Take a look and give us feedback! [0] [1] == Discussions == === Search === * Inter-wiki search is here! An A/B test of a new search results page which includes inter-wiki search results was deployed to Persian, Italian, Catalan and Polish Wikipedias. Take a look and give us feedback! [0] [1] * TextCat (language ID) improvements for German, English, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, and Russian Wikipedias have been deployed. [2] In general, more languages are available to be detected, and detection accuracy is higher. [3] * TextCat has also been enabled on the Dutch Wikipedia. [4] * A warning is now displayed if a user runs an advanced search query which only returns partial results due to a query timeout. [5] * Our initial analysis of the Stempel Polish analyzer is done. [6] Overall it works well, but has some rare but bizarre stemming bugs. [7] There’s a live demo with the Polish Wikipedia index in labs. [8] Feedback on the Phab ticket (T154517) or talk page of the write up is very welcome.
