Hi,
Wikimedia developers are working on a new search system named CirrusSearch.
From yesterday this search option is available as in
secondary mode. You
all are requested to test and provide feedback on this.
*Few key improved features, *
* CirrusSearch updates the search index in near real time. So You should be
able to search for your changes as soon as you make them.
* CirrusSearch indexes expanded templates.
* Most of the special search syntax is the same. You can read the syntax
here:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Search/CirrusSearchFeatures
*How to test **CirrusSearch *
You can get its results by performing a normal search and then added '*
&srbackend=CirrusSearch*' to the URL. Follow the example below,
Present Search:
https://bn.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=বিশেষ%3ASearch&profile=all&a…
CirrusSearch :
https://bn.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=বিশেষ%3ASearch&profile=all&a…
*&srbackend=CirrusSearch*<https://bn.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=বিশেষ%3ASearch&profile=all&search=একটি+রাষ্ট্র&fulltext=Search&srbackend=CirrusSearch>
If we think that this new search system is performing better that the
existing one then we can request to enable this feature as the primary
search system.
There is a discussion started at the village pump of the Bengali Wikipedia
you can comment on there too,
