Hi! Search Platform team would like to present a prototype test site of new and improved Wikidata fulltext search: http://wikidata-wdsearch.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:Search Please try your favorite searches on it and report whether it looks good and which problems you notice. Important to note for this prototype: - The data in the search is imported from Wikidata index but not updated from it after import, so it may be slightly out of date - The search is in English by default but you can try other languages by using uselang parameter, e.g.: http://wikidata-wdsearch.wmflabs.org/w/index.php?search=Wien&title=Spec… Note that since it's a test site, this is probably the best way to test non-English searches as logins etc. may not work there properly. - Search would work properly only for main & property namespace (0 and 120). What kind of problems we are looking for? - Ranking and retrieval problems, i.e. result X appears too low or too high in specific search, or does not appear at all (please tell us specific search query and expected result) - UI problems - i.e. the ranking is fine but highlighting or label or description is broken or look bad, or not highlighting the result that should be highlighted Of course, if some search result worked spectacularly better for you, it would be nice to know too :) What should work? Any search in Special:Search in main namespace and Property namespace should produce sensible result. Searches without advanced syntax should have better results than before, and search with advanced syntax (+, -, *, quotes, etc.) should work no worse than before. Please note that this is a test wiki, so nothing else but search is expected to work, including clicking on other links, editing, browsing to other pages, etc. This is also a test site, so short disruptions might be possible when we update or change things or fix bugs reported by you :) How to provide feedback? Several ways are possible: - Reply to this list or personally to me if you prefer - On-wiki message on my talk page: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User_talk:Smalyshev_(WMF) - Talk to us on IRC: #wikimedia-discovery Thanks!
