Hoi,

A previous iteration of Special:MediaSearch provided results in my language. The results were based on the media that had a depict statement on the subject that I was looking for.When I look for bever, I expect to find beavers. I don't.

Is it possible to have a version of Special:MediaSearch that actually works for other languages but English? The previous iteration worked for me.

Thanks,

GerardM

Greetings,

After a year of design and development, Special:MediaSearch [1] will be released to logged-in users on Wednesday, 12 May 2021. Media Search [2] is a new content-focused way to search Commons and find freely-licensed media for use and re-use.
Special:MediaSearch has been default for all anonymous/logged-out users since 1 April 2021, and once it is default for everyone logged-in users will have the option to restore Special:Search as their default experience with a change to a preference.

Feedback is always welcome on the talk page [3], thank you for your time.
