Wikipedia.org [4]

Wikipedia in your language [5]

free online encyclopedia, created and edited by volunteers around the world
and hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation." [6]
== Search ==
* Automagically fixed ÿ in Spécial:IndexPages search by implementing
ascii-folding in French [7] [8]
* Tried to update to to ElasticSearch plugins to 2.4.0 but found out we
couldn't because our analysis plugins are not compatible [9]

* Fixed bug - mwgrep and "insource:" search is missing lots of pages in its
index [11]
* Make elasticsearch actually have shard allocation awareness [12]

search contains 'AND', 'OR', 'NOT' anywhere in search even when
these are
not used as special syntax [13]
* Updated WikimediaMaintenance/addWiki.php to create cirrus indices on all
available clusters [14]
== Analysis ==

* Added event logging for the Wikipedia portal to capture the language
selected in the search box [16]

logging [17]

and
