Today we threw the big lever and turned on our new
search backend at
mediawiki.org. It isn't the default yet but it is just about ready for you
to try. Here is what is we think we've improved:
1. Templates are now expanded during search so:
1a. You can search for text included in templates
1b. You can search for categories included in templates
2. The search engine is updated very quickly after articles change.
3. A few funky things around intitle and incategory:
3a. You can combine them with a regular query (incategory:kings peaceful)
3b. You can use prefix searches with them (incategory:norma*)
3c. You can use them everywhere in the query (roger incategory:normans)
Template expansion and category intersection search - so exciting! Thank
you, Nik and Chad, for working on this.
