Heyo, search analyst here.
A big +1 to Andrew's statement. To my knowledge there's no timeline on
that ticket and I would expect Search to be involved in those
discussions. Since we haven't.. ;p.
Depending on how you're measuring query complexity or what you're
looking for it may be possible to perform that analysis at our end
without compromising or releasing user data. Feel free to reach out to
me offlist if that is of interest.

Hi Franz,
I am CCing your email to the public Analytics list so that others may
respond too. In short, those links don’t work because releasing the data
was a mistake. You can see the Update from 2012/9/20 at the top of the post
that explains why.
There isn’t an easy way to safely release user search queries without
potentially compromising private user data. I don’t think we even collect
this data at the moment. Since that blog post, our search architecture has
changed, and the new one doesn’t have the ability to collect the queries
easily. I believe
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T103505 is a ticket to
start doing this, but I don’t know if there is a real timeline to make this
happen.

Dear Andrew Otto,
I have a question about the announcement concerning search logs on this
page:http://blog.wikimedia.org/2012/09/19/what-are-readers-looking-for-wiki….
The links given there don't seem to work.
Have you been able to make this service accessible ?
I am working on a new search device for Wikipedia where as much of the
searchable information (at the fact level) as possible would be presented in
an autosuggest mode; it would be helpful to have an overview of the query
complexity of queries to Wikipedia. If you know of any other sources for
Wikipedia query logs any information would be highly apprecated.
Thank you in advance for your hellp.
