Hi Michael,

It's the official signup page here?  https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/Wikimedia-search

If not, then perhaps there needs to be a bit of cleanup on the Mailing lists page:  https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Overview
where I saw a few mentions of "discovery".

Hello Kevin,

Yes, WikibaseCirrusSearch can be tricky to install.  I'd recommend asking your question again on the Search and Discovery mailing list (discovery@lists.wikimedia.org), where it's more likely to reach a member of the Wikimedia Search Platform Team, who are most likely to be able to help.

Good luck!
Michael

Hello,

I'm having a hard time setting up Cirrus Search on my Mediawiki / Wikibase instance, I'm quite confused so I thought I could ask for some help. :)

First, I followed the instructions to install both CirrusSearch and WikibaseCirrusSearch (WBCS) extensions, but I don't really know what my LocalSettings.php config file should look like.
On one hand, CirrusSearch asks for this option`$wgSearchType = 'CirrusSearch';`, on the other hand WBCS asks for `$wgWBCSUseCirrus = true;`. When I put them both, I get a php error : `mediawiki/extensions/CirrusSearch/includes/Profile/SearchProfileService.php: A profile repository type rescore named wikibase_base is already registered.`
1/ So, do I need only one of them or is something else missing in my config file ? I might have missed a step in the installation ?
2/ The weird thing is, if I remove one of the two option, the search is somewhat working and is different than before using CirrusSearch, but autocompletion seems off, as it autocomplete only strings like "Item:QXXX" where XXX is the QID. I would have expected an autocomplete on item labels, not on QIDs like on Wikidata
3/ I'm not sure either if I have to fire some CirrusSearch maintenance scripts when I'm toying around with WBCS options in LocalSettings.php, because it appears that WBCS extension doesn't have any.

I apology in advance because I'm pretty sure this is a confusing post, but there are quite a lot of questions in my head. :)

Kevin
