Excellent news! Would someone be able to provide or point to some configuration and examples that English Wikisource can utilise to allow some side-by-side searches, and some guidance that can be provided to the community on the new features and their use (if there us any).
I think Nik's e-mail from when we deployed to mw.org is still the best info.

CirrusSearch is pretty much a work alike for the current search so I haven't done too much documenting. I'll fill out https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Search/CirrusSearchFeatures a boiled down list of features. The big one I think you care about is that templates are evaluated during indexing.
If you can't wait you can read the regression tests here: http://git.wikimedia.org/tree/mediawiki%2Fextensions%2FCirrusSearch.git/mast... . They are written in cucumber so they should be reasonably readable. Fair warning: I use the term "page" and "article" pretty much interchangeably. Also one of the tests is failing on my development machine but I haven't commented it out with an associated bug like I usually do because, well, I like looking at it failing I guess. The bug is here: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53426
