Gotcha! Well, that test is over, I'm afraid :). I know we do have methods for sort of forcing a session into a test population (for browsing purposes) but I'm not sure how I feel about the idea of making that available for _non_testing purposes. It kind of defeats the point of an A/B test if the population is self-selected and features people aware of the context of the test.

Hi!
@ Oliver, about A/B test I refer to the email of 13 Jan 2016 by Deborah Tankersley [discovery] New A/B testing on Wikipedia Portal page however, yes I would like tobe included in A/B tests in general, not a particular one. I m mostrly interested in full text search, knowledge discovery and discovery of topics' context.

Not much clear to me yet, sorry.
I will rephrase my question: I would like to do a full-text search (FTS) query, have the pageids and decorators.
I also would like to have results hit (I see them in API:Search, list=search); I would like to access the page_Ids of articles (see them in generators).
I would like to understand if the backend between two is different, since I've read list=search use an ElasticSearch instance, and it seems to me it is faster and better FTS (not tried extensively, through). Also, list=search offers a snippet and may be less expensive for wiki server instead of quering an exerpt - is it the case?
I pass: params = {'action':'query', 'generator':'search', 'gsrnamespace' : 0, 'gsrsearch' : keywords, 'gsrlimit' : 20 , 'prop' : 'pageimages|extracts', 'pilimit' : 'max', 'exintro' : '', 'explaintext' : '', 'exsentences' : 3, 'exlimit' : 'max', 'redirects' : '' }
would like to do the same with list=search.
Could you please show an example of FTS with list=search ?
Not clear to me how coudl I pass a list to a generator, if it is the case.
Thank you.

Which A/B test are you referring to? We have tried quite a few :). Or do you just generally want to be included in the A/B tests?

Hello,
I have few question for discovery portal and API:
possible to be included in the 0.05% who tried the A/B test?
do you have or plan to have a feature for discovery *between* topics?
E.g.
suggestions connecting two topics. I ve been working on this.
- Which is the difference in API:Search between:
list=search and generator=search ? The first seems to be faster to me.
- I need to fetch the pageIDs of the results, and have them already
redirected and decorated with images and snipped/excerpt.
With generator=search I could do it, I can't with list=search Could you help in grasping query parameters?
#generator=search params = {'action':'query', 'generator':'search', 'gsrnamespace' : 0, 'gsrsearch' : keywords, 'gsrlimit' : 20 , 'prop' :
'pageimages|extracts',
'pilimit' : 'max', 'exintro' : '', 'explaintext' : '', 'exsentences' :
3,
'exlimit' : 'max', 'redirects' : '' }
#list=search params = {'action':'query', 'list':'search', 'srsearch' : keywords, 'srlimit' : 20 , 'srprop' : 'size', 'indexpageids' : 1 } ??
I m trying with sand box with no success, only search results are hit,
no
matter of
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ApiSandbox#action=query&list=searc...
- I also found 0&formatversion=2' is another param used in search=list
Has it a special meaning?
