So it sounds like there's no way to search Flow content through Special:Search (or any other interface a normal user would have). Is that right?
Correct, there is currently no UI.
It looks like ApiFlowSearch.php was added in REL1_26 [1] (I don't see it in REL1_25 [2]). I'll tinker around with a 1.26 setup and see if I can figure out how to use ApiFlowSearch.php.
Yeah, all of that search-related code happened around the same time. Come to think of it, there were related changes in Elastica & CirrusSearch extensions, but I think most (or all) of those are in 1.25 already.

Hi Daren,
I don’t think the Flow search index scripts rely on any specific 1.26 code, Running it on 1.25 will be fine, I guess (though I haven’t tried it)
I’m not sure those scripts do what you’d expect them to do, though. Running the Flow index scripts won’t add Flow’s data into the existing search index and won’t make Flow results appear in Special:Search.
The first goal was having a Flow-specific in-board search (to filter results in a busy board) The existing search code was mostly written with that in mind: the data is indexed in a separate index and only available via ApiFlowSearch.
That said, ApiFlowSearch will let you search for discussions across multiple/all pages, namespaces, … If you don’t mind building that integration/frontend yourself, that is, it is not currently being worked on.
There is no other documentation available, but let me know if there’s anything in particular you’d like to know more about.

I'm referencing [1] in an attempt to get Cirrus Search (Elasticsearch) to search and return results from Flow boards in MW 1.25. Some of the
scripts
like FlowSearchConfig.php don't seem to be in REL1_25, but they do seem
to
be in REL1_26. Does this mean I won't be able to get this to work in 1.25 or is there another (older) set of instructions on how to configure so ES will search Flow content?
