Hi Lydia and all,
great to hear about this deployment, I am particularly excited about qualifier support (as
per my previous post).
Since you also mention improvements to search, I was wondering whether you had specific
plans for work on search functionality.
Unless I use the Items by title page, if type "Berlin" in a regular search form
the item I am actually looking for (Q64) is ranked #34 in the search results (i.e. three
clicks away on the "more" link).
I'd be curious to hear the team's thoughts on how to make search more effective
and user friendly.

Heya folks :)
We have just deployed qualifiers
(
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Notes/Data_model_primer#Qualifiers)
and bug fixes on
wikidata.org. Qualifiers! Bug fixes are especially
for Internet Explorer 8. Please let me know how it is working for you
now if you're using IE8 and if there are still any major problems when
using Wikidata with it.
In addition the script we ran on the database to make search
case-insensitive has finished running. This should be another huge
step towards a nice search here. (This change also affects the
autocomplete for items and properties.)
As usual please let me know what you think and tell me if there are any issues.
Cheers
Lydia
