Hello, A few updates from the Discovery department this week.

* Portal team brainstormed ideas for the future of the Portal work and beyond; read more here https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikipedia.org_Portal_brainstorming_ideas_for_future . * The zero results rate http://discovery.wmflabs.org/metrics/#kpi_zero_results [for search] was updated to no longer count queries that it should've been excluding. This shows that the completion suggester had a bigger effect than previously thought, actually reducing the zero results rate from roughly 33% to roughly 22%.
