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).

Sorry for not sending an update earlier. This week
has been crazy.
Anyway, we switched CirrusSearch to the primary search backend on
MediaWiki on Wednesday morning San Francisco time. Nothing is on fire
yet so the release was successful in that sense but we've filed three
new bugs so it certainly wasn't an unmitigated success.
We're probably getting to the point where we can start converting
wikis volunteered by ambassadors. We'd add CirrusSearch as a
secondary, build the index, and then we and the ambassador will do
some testing with the special URL parameter mentioned at the beginning
of this thread. When we're all confident that CirrusSearch is an
improvement over what is in production now for that wiki we'll switch
it over to primary. I'd like to start this process for a few wikis
soon. Italian Wikctionary has already been volunteered so we'll add
CirrusSearch as a secondary for it soon.
I'll be back to working full steam on bugs next week and many of the
currently open bugs are waiting on the next release of Elasticsearch
which is supposed to be "real soon" so they should fall into place
pretty quickly after we upgrade. You can always check the open bugs
