Hi.
Phabricator search is currently pretty bad: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T75854.
We should already be wary of putting all our eggs in the Phabricator basket. Search is hugely important to an issue tracker and code repository, so if we're going to continue growing Phabricator, we need to figure out short-term and long-term solutions for Phabricator search.
Perhaps if Titan/Wikidata Query Service development is on hold, Nik could investigate this? Or perhaps dropping Elasticsearch for now in favor of the built-in search would be better? Thoughts, suggestions, etc. welcome.
^d was looking into this a bit today based on some reports that came in on irc. He's been working actively with the upstream to make their Elasticsearch integration better already and is now assigned to the Release Engineering team that helped bootstrap the Phabricator install so I'd expect he will continue to be interested in improvements.
Actually I give up. I couldn't get it right yesterday and I really don't have the time to pour into it.
Let's just use the SQL-backed search for now. We know it works.
If someone has the time down the road to play with Elastic integration I'm totally in favor of such efforts because it really is a nicer tool for search than a database :p
