Hi Nik, Thanks for enabling this new feature.
I have tested with some other test cases and it is working fine. 2 search system shows 2 set of results. Between these two results i found that the new search results are more useful and most of the cases it show more results than the previous search system.
I will inform the local community and ask them to test as well. I will let you know the feedback here.
thanks Nasir

Hi Nik, all
Now I have some time to spend, so I might assist you to deploy Cirrus Search in Asturian (ast) wiki. I'm mostly a translator, so don't expect more than basic tech skills from me.
Regards
Xuacu

Just to round up: bn.wikipedia.org se.wikimedia.org it.wikisource.org have all expressed interest.
Yesterday we enabled CirrusSearch as a secondary for bn.wikipedia.org.
You
can get its results by performing a normal search and then added 'srbackend=CirrusSearch' to the url. You can compare the results like
so:
Current:
http://bn.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=%E0%A6%8F%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%9F%E0%A6...
Cirrus:
http://bn.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=%E0%A6%8F%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%9F%E0%A6...
I'd love to be able to say that it is working well but I can't read any Bengali so I have no idea.
I'm requesting another deployment window to do se.wikimedia.org and it.wikisource.org now.
Any other wikis want in?
Nik

Sorry, I didn't understand what you meant by "that" in the sentence "Right now that is on for English but off for all other languages."

One problem on Swedish Wikipedia with the current search engine is that it just doesn't do characters like å, ä and ö (which are three common letters in Swedish) well. They are lumped together with a and o respectively, which is like getting your i-words lumped together with
your
j-words. Åland is followed by Alaska, for example. So, as one user
answered
this question, does this function do this better? If it isn't, why
should we
test it on Swedish Wikipedia? His words, not mine.
Right now that is on for English but off for all other languages. Some other languages may want it but Swedish certainly isn't one of them.
