Hi Deb,

I was trying to ask about the Commons file properties search features, but it is good to know about cross-wiki results too. Maybe it would be good for me to take a look at both of these feature sets in January 2017. If the features are still in beta at that time, that is OK and might actually be more helpful to me than mockups in the here and now.

Hi Pine,

If you're asking about the mocks for the cross-wiki search results, we have a page describing the upcoming A/B tests for the display of the new search results here and the main discussion page is here. 

We hope to start testing the new cross-wiki search results this quarter; but with the holidays and all, we might not begin testing until January 2017.

Hope that helps!

Cheers,

Deb

Do you have a mockup of what the finished product would be? I would like to include this info in the LearnWiki scripts; I'm hoping that the finished modules will be available sometime in 2017, likely after these search improvements have been rolled out.

Alternatively, if the situation is still in flux, maybe it would make sense for me to postpone writing about the Commons search page for a few months until these improvements are done.

Will the changes to the interface be done by the end of Q3?

Excellent timing, considering that I'm currently writing the LearnWiki module script about Commons. (:

Are there any plans to make the interface more graphical in the near future?

Probably not the too-near future (few months). We are currently working on an overhaul of the search page but will initially be addressing the main search area, and the sidebar of (soon to be) sister-wiki results. Hopefully once that is done the work we put in will make other incremental updates, like custom gui elements, a little easier to find a way to include.

Hello,

You can now search for file properties such as file size and and file type on Commons. This includes file media type, MIME type, size, width, height, resolution, and bit depth.

A few quick examples:
* A search for 'shark' videos [0]
* A search for 'flower' where the files are 16 bit [1]
