Really impressive !
I wonder if we can add to the information page, the reasoning that went into selecting which of the advanced options to include, and which to exclude.

Just for reference, you can upload files to phab from mobile by going to http://phabricator.wikimedia.org/file/upload (Yeah, its the most hidden thing ever)

Hello, Birgit. Unfortunately, I can't open a phab ticket, because I'm on mobile, and there is no way to upload a file to phabricator from mobile. So, I'll answer you here. I'm on Lollipop, use internal browser, timeless skin. I can't make a screenshot from this device, so I did it on another one, almost the same, just another OS version. And the result looks completely different there, but still broken, see the file attached, all the section captures are almost hidden. Hope it helps, Igal.

Hi Igal,
thanks for letting us know! Could you maybe give a bit more details
(e.g.
the skin you use, operating system) and make a screenshot so that we can look into it?
Best place to report that would be directly in Phabricator, project tag
is
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/advanced-search/.
Thans and cheers, Birgit

Hello. Great idea indeed. But it does not work. I just opted in, and I
can
only see broken rectangles and partial captures. Looks like a huge css problem. User:IKhitron (Igal)

Hello all,
we're really happy to announce that the new AdvancedSearch interface
got
deployed as a beta feature to Mediawiki.org and test just 2 hours ago.
[1]
AdvancedSearch enhances Special:Search through an advanced parameters
form
and aims to make existing search options more visible and accessible
for
everyone. [2]
The feature is a project by WMDE's Tech team and originates from the Technical Wishes project. Many other people and teams helped making
this
project happen, so stay tuned for the thank you section at the end of
this
email :-) [3]
*Why AdvancedSearch*
The Search has great options to perform advanced queries, but often
even
experienced editors don't know about it - this is what we found out
when
we
were conducting a workshop series on advanced search in several
cities in
Germany in 2016. Together with contributors from German Wikipedia
we've
discussed their desired search queries, explained how the syntax works
and
how keywords like "hastemplate", "filetype" or "intitle" can be used
and
combined to get the desired results.
The idea for the AdvancedSearch feature results out of these
workshops,
where we not only discussed search but also designed first mocks for
an
advanced search interface. [4]
*The first version, more deployments and other next
steps*AdvancedSearch
supports some of the special search options the WMF's search team has
been
implemented in the last years. The way the interface works, users
don't
have to know the syntax behind each search field, but they can learn
about
it if they want to. The first version of the feature comes with a
first
selection of advanced search options, e.g. including support for "hastemplate" or "intitle". The WMF's search team has started to work
on
a
'deepcat' functionality to make sub category search happen. We plan to
add
support for this in the future, too.
If all goes well, we plan to deploy the beta feature on German and
Arabic
Wikipedia by Wednesday, Nov 29. [5]
In the next 2-3 months we'd love to invite everyone to test the new
feature
on those wikis: Comments, thoughs, bug reports ... - any feedback is
much
appreciated!
Please see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:AdvancedSearch for
how to
use AdvancedSearch.
Deployments to other wikis can follow later.
*Thank you (finally!)*
This project was developed with the support from many different people
from
the start, and this makes it very special to us: We would like to
thank
the
folks from the German Wikipedia community who participated in the
workshops
and who were discussing and designing first ideas together with us. We would like to thank all other people who gave valuable feedback on Phabricator, onwiki and in real life. We would like to thank the
Arabic
Wikipedia community for getting interested in AdvancedSearch, and for offering to test this feature in an early stage. The credit for the development work on AdvancedSearch goes to our FUN team, supported by
the
team that usually works on Technical Wishes. Last but really not
least we
would like to thank the great folks from the WMF's search team who
have
supported this project from the start and who have done (and still do)
the
necessary backend work that now got supported by the AdvancedSearch extension.
Sorry for the long email, and thanks for reading :-)
Birgit (for the Technical Wishes team)
