But let's not get ahead of ourselves, we need a better internal search engine first. I can see the usefulness of searching across several projects (to look for cross-wiki pattern vandalism to revert or look for other language versions of something you just wrote, etc.) so this is why i suggested putting it on the toolserver.
On the other hand a dedicated domain name like "search.wikimedia.org" is equally if not more appealing.

Any thoughts following up on the status of our ability to create improved internal searching as discussed here? Implementation of the no-index proposal should not await (and I gather is not awaiting) improvements in this feature, but a commitment to proceed with such improvements would eliminate virtually the only serious objection that has been raised to it.
