Subject: [Wikidata] Improvements on the search results
To: "Discussion list for the Wikidata project." <wikidata@lists.wikimedia.org>


Hello all,

Some improvements have been made by the Search team at WMF on Special:Search (the page that is loaded when you type something in the search field and press enter, for example).

  • The string that you typed is highlighted in bold in the label of the results
  • The number of bytes is no longer displayed, instead you can see the number of sitelinks and statements
  • The code is now using the same indexing as completion search, which should improve relevancy and better control over ranking

If you have any question or find a bug, feel free to ping user:Smalyshev (WMF).

Cheers,
