These wikis now have Cirrus as a secondary. You can test it by performing
a regular search and then adding "&srbackend=CirrusSearch" to the url. If
you perform another search you'll have to add it back. Please give it a
shot and let me know if you have any problems with it. Here is a search in
frwikisource:
http://fr.wikisource.org/w/index.php?search=Platon&title=Sp%C3%A9cial%3…
If you find the results better let me know and I'll switch you to primary.
If not, please let me know why and I'll fix it.

I'll do this one a week from yesterday. I should be sending a similar
email about it a week from now.

I'll do these November 14th in the evening UTC. I should be sending an
email around this time on November 15th about it.
Around that time I'm going to get hungry for more. I'll have new servers
with tons of head room and WMF folks will start asking me, "When can we
turn off the old search?" and I like to be able to answer that with "When
no one uses it. We're adding 6 wikis to Cirrus this week so we'll get
there eventually." What do folks think about adding _all_ wikisources
and/or all wiktionaries as secondary? I've been told that they really need
template tranclusion and so the old search isn't really working for them
any way.
Otherwise, I'm looking for more volunteers.
Thanks so much,
Nik
