Hello. Great idea indeed. But it does not work. I just opted in, and I can only see broken rectangles and partial captures. Looks like a huge css problem.

Hello all, we're really happy to announce that the new AdvancedSearch interface got deployed as a beta feature to Mediawiki.org and test just 2 hours ago. [1] AdvancedSearch enhances Special:Search through an advanced parameters form and aims to make existing search options more visible and accessible for everyone. [2] The feature is a project by WMDE's Tech team and originates from the Technical Wishes project. Many other people and teams helped making this project happen, so stay tuned for the thank you section at the end of this email :-) [3] *Why AdvancedSearch* The Search has great options to perform advanced queries, but often even experienced editors don't know about it - this is what we found out when we were conducting a workshop series on advanced search in several cities in Germany in 2016. Together with contributors from German Wikipedia we've discussed their desired search queries, explained how the syntax works and how keywords like "hastemplate", "filetype" or "intitle" can be used and combined to get the desired results. The idea for the AdvancedSearch feature results out of these workshops, where we not only discussed search but also designed first mocks for an advanced search interface. [4] *The first version, more deployments and other next steps*AdvancedSearch supports some of the special search options the WMF's search team has been implemented in the last years. The way the interface works, users don't have to know the syntax behind each search field, but they can learn about it if they want to. The first version of the feature comes with a first selection of advanced search options, e.g. including support for "hastemplate" or "intitle". The WMF's search team has started to work on a 'deepcat' functionality to make sub category search happen. We plan to add support for this in the future, too. If all goes well, we plan to deploy the beta feature on German and Arabic Wikipedia by Wednesday, Nov 29. [5] In the next 2-3 months we'd love to invite everyone to test the new feature on those wikis: Comments, thoughs, bug reports ... - any feedback is much appreciated! Please see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:AdvancedSearch for how to use AdvancedSearch. Deployments to other wikis can follow later. *Thank you (finally!)* This project was developed with the support from many different people from the start, and this makes it very special to us: We would like to thank the folks from the German Wikipedia community who participated in the workshops and who were discussing and designing first ideas together with us. We would like to thank all other people who gave valuable feedback on Phabricator, onwiki and in real life. We would like to thank the Arabic Wikipedia community for getting interested in AdvancedSearch, and for offering to test this feature in an early stage. The credit for the development work on AdvancedSearch goes to our FUN team, supported by the team that usually works on Technical Wishes. Last but really not least we would like to thank the great folks from the WMF's search team who have supported this project from the start and who have done (and still do) the necessary backend work that now got supported by the AdvancedSearch extension.

Hello, Birgit. Unfortunately, I can't open a phab ticket, because I'm on mobile, and there is no way to upload a file to phabricator from mobile. So, I'll answer you here. I'm on Lollipop, use internal browser, timeless skin. I can't make a screenshot from this device, so I did it on another

Just for reference, you can upload files to phab from mobile by going to http://phabricator.wikimedia.org/file/upload (Yeah, its the most hidden thing ever) -- bawolff On Tue, Nov 21, 2017 at 11:47 PM, יגאל חיטרון <khitron(a)gmail.com> wrote: wrote: (e.g. is got for this even when cities in we've and workshops, an steps*AdvancedSearch don't first on Arabic much how to thank Arabic the least we have group AdvancedSearch arwiki unter _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

Really impressive !

I wonder if we can add to the information page, the reasoning that went into selecting which of the advanced options to include, and which to exclude.

Hi Igal, thanks for the heads up! The current list doesn't contain all existing keywords/options, but all the keywords/options we've discussed in detail so that we could come up with a decision which keywords we can/can't support or plan to support for now. We plan to investigate more during the beta phase and update the list accordingly. I will add this explanation to the list, too! 2017-11-29 15:37 GMT+01:00 יגאל חיטרון <khitron(a)post.bgu.ac.il>il>: changes AdvancedSearch#Background editing most because that the found several be can We German the wiki/Help:AdvancedSearch different like with feedback for team Menge Wissens -- Birgit Müller Community Communications Manager Software Development and Engineering Wikimedia Deutschland e.V. | Tempelhofer Ufer 23-24 | 10963 Berlin Tel.
