There do seem to be some caching problems, so I used this URL: http://www.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/?dsadsadasff
On Safari 9.0.3 in a private browsing window, I also have no type-ahead. It works in a regular window, an in Chrome (48.0.2564.116 (64-bit)) in both a regular and private window.
I have two other problems:
1) I'm not getting the bookshelf images. I get weird partial circles, in both Chrome and Safari. Screen grab below.

2) The element to select a language extends over into the "search" button. If I click the center of the button, I get the language selection menu. If I click a corner, I search. See screenshot of selected element below. This is in both Safari and Chrome.

Hi,
Things look really good! I haven't been able to fully test everything I want to, as of this morning, but looks very nice! :)
I did find something interesting on Safari (on a mac) and using a private browser (so I didn't have to clear my cache) the type-ahead didn't seem to work for me (with the meta data display). Can someone verify that they see the same thing?
Thanks - I'll test more later on today!

Hi everybody,
Following up on last week's email, the team has made significant improvements to the *enhanced search box*:
- We developed a JavaScript-only version of the language picker, on
top of the previous patch, so that users who have JS enabled (93% of our traffic) get a nicer version of the language picker. - Shorter language code is displayed, allowing more space for text within the search input. - Triggers the native selector on mobile devices. - The search box looks better overall.
Users who disable JavaScript, or are using old IE versions, get the native selector already presented in last email.
*It's merged into master, and deployed on beta!*
*Check it out:* http://www.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/
*Deployment to production * (Phab ticket for reference: Epic T125472 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T125472)
The patch has been submitted for Thursday's Evening SWAT (Thu 00:00–01:00 UTC, Wed 16:00–17:00 PST) https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments#Thursday.2C.C2.A0March.C2.A010 .
Last chance to enjoy the "good old search" https://www.wikipedia.org/ !
Chris https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:CKoerner_(WMF) and Deborah https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:DTankersley_(WMF) will answer any question or concern related to this deployment
*Some screenshots:*
*Modern browsers:*
Chrome, JS: http://i.imgur.com/Jb8JVbd.png Chrome, no-JS: http://i.imgur.com/JcBfz2h.png (basic language picker because no JS)
*IE browsers:*
IE8, JS: http://i.imgur.com/Nef2rn6.png (basic language picker because old IE) IE9, JS: http://i.imgur.com/o1yrhcA.png (basic language picker because old IE) IE10, JS: http://i.imgur.com/OY6MVwJ.png IE11, JS: http://i.imgur.com/nQUk8fg.png *Note: the CSS for the suggestions needs some attention, currently seeing weird padding.*
*Mobile browsers:*
iOS, JS: http://i.imgur.com/7mbCKu6.png iOS, no-JS: http://i.imgur.com/F2rQpEE.png (basic language picker because no JS)
Note that JS is required for the typeahead/suggestions feature (this is already the case with the current page, no regression). If you don't have JS, you will have to submit the form in order to get results.
*Next A/B test: Use language detection to re-arrange the primary links to suit the user better*
*Coming soon!* The team has also made significant progress, stay tuned!
