[Wikitech-l] [Wikitech] Improvements on the search results

...with apologies for cross-posting, but this is cool stuff! :) -- deb tankersley Program Manager, Engineering Wikimedia Foundation ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Léa Lacroix &lt;lea.lacroix(a)wikimedia.de&gt; Date: Thu, Apr 5, 2018 at 1:35 AM Subject: [Wikidata] Improvements on the search results To: "Discussion list for the Wikidata project." < wikidata(a)lists.wikimedia.org&gt; Hello all, Some improvements have been made by the Search team at WMF on Special:Search <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/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) <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Smalyshev_(WMF)>.
