Hello Analytics,
Wikipedia’s search function exposes several modifiers (
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:CirrusSearch)
On the recent German Wikicon there was a workshop on search and several
community members seemed to be enthusiastic about these functions.
I wonder if there is existing information about the current use of such
queries. I did some research, but I could not find out much.
Such information could help to improve the search function, since sometimes
a few modifiers are heavily used (despite them being hard to access) and
could e.g. be exposed via the user interface.
