- Could it include sister projects in other languages, of course if all
language projects agree? Obvious application of this are b/h/sh/s wikis, but also recently announced Egyptian and classical Arabic, and similar cases.
yes, one can group wikis together in pretty much arbitrary way. The only limitation is that once wikis are grouped together, all of them get results from the same group. I grouped them into sister projects because that seemed most relevant. The only exception currently is meta-mediawiki.org group. As for ex-yu languages, I'm not sure if there would be consensus for such a feature, but if it were, it could be enabled.
What about Wikimedia Commons, how is it grouped? Hopefully it would be in all groups.
I understand showing thumbnails would probably overload the search page, so restricting results to the main and category namespace could be a good compromise.
