Hello,
We're happy to announce that the latest update to the search results page is now in production!
We've added snippets from the Wikimedia sister projects into a sidebar display on the search results page to further discovery into even more knowledge using your search query. You can test this new functionality out using your favorite wiki and here are a few quick sample URLs to get you started:
- German: https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=Wiener+Schnitzel~&title=Spec... - Italian: https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=Ricerca&fulltext=1 - Basque: https://eu.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=barruti~&title=Berezi:Bilatu... - English: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=the+night+is+nigh&title=Spec...
We had sent an email earlier in the year, in which we described the overall search work that the Discovery team has been doing, if you'd like a refresher on our project.[1]
Cheers from the Discovery Search team!

This looks really cool! I think it makes sense that if you search for the name of a really old book you also get the Wikisource entry, or a Wiktionary result if you look up a word.

Nice!
But, no results for Wikidata, the site that covers more topics than all out other sites?

Hi!

Wikidata search is think right now may not be ready for this yet. It's way more complicated than regular wiki search because it's a) multilingual and b) data and not text. We're working on it though :)
Yay! Nice work. :-)
