Once new search is working, the first enhancement to the search should be a clustering feature.[3] Wouldn't such a feature pretty much solve the problem that we currently have with search, and which won't be solved by the "out-of-the-box" search that is being worked on now.
John provided a link to Bugzilla[4] at which Chad has stated it would be a great feature, and it would be even more awesome to have the "Assigned to" change from "Nobody - You can work on this!" to "WMF Platform Team". The WMF has the coin, it has the tech talent, now we as a community need that solution.
Apart from everyone going to the Bugzilla report and adding their support for this feature (which they should do), how can we go about ensuring that such a feature is treated as a priority by the WMF?

I second this.
Niabot's clustering idea was the most sensible proposal to come out of all the brainstorming effort that went on at the time. No tagging, no censorship concerns, yet elegantly solves the problem of isolated NSFW results appearing out of the blue.
This would be a good thing to work on.
