Hi Felix,
There was recently a discussion about releasing raw queries, and the
decision was made by WMF not to release raw queries for privacy reasons.
Personally, I support that decision because the risks seem to far outweigh
the benefits. The staff from Discovery may be able to provide you with more
detail or alternatives, but I would say that the odds of releasing raw data
from is low.
Sometimes WMF allows access to sensitive data if an NDA is signed. In this
case, I feel that the risks are too high even for that to be allowed.
That's a personal opinion only; the official answer will come from WMF.

Hi everybody,
I’m currently writing by bachelor thesis at University Koblenz, Germany.
The goal
is to improve Wikipedia search by exploiting the text structure of
Wikipedia articles. To conduct unbiased user studies I need real world
queries so I can compare the novel algorithms agains the currently used
ones. Are there any query logs existing which I can use for this purpose?
Thanks for your help!
