In order to do this we can look at the search results on mobile (and
especially where they are failing today without GS)
One of the asks that I have for the mobile teams in this quarter is to start logging failed search results. I want us to get to the point where we never show a 'no search results' page in any language.
So, a custom solution for the decade-old requests (especially by Wiktionary) for logs of search queries without results (cf. countless ML threads) and smarter suggestions (cf. e.g. https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?bug_id=56320%2C47979%2C10421)? Please make sure the solution is generic enough. Interlanguage suggestions and improvements to Cirrus "did you mean", plus some interface to access failed searches, would probably solve most problems.
