Hello, This is the weekly update from the Search Platform team for the week starting 2018-08-06.

As always, feedback and questions welcome.

== Discussions ==

=== Search === * Erik and David worked on setting up a new branch for elasticsearch 6.x (as a first step) [0], which is mostly done but will need a follow-on task to get into production [1] * Erik worked on a small but weird bug where Cirrussearch on test.wikipedia.org was not able to search on specific non-zero namespaces and fixed it [2] * Stas fixed the error message for haswbstatement without valid query [3] and searching for property without specifying the value [4], e.g. <code>haswbstatement:P231</code>.
