[6]

== Search == * Automagically fixed ÿ in Spécial:IndexPages search by implementing ascii-folding in French [7] [8] * Tried to update to to ElasticSearch plugins to 2.4.0 but found out we couldn't because our analysis plugins are not compatible [9] * Added defaultsearchkeys to wiki search autocomplete [10] * Fixed bug - mwgrep and "insource:" search is missing lots of pages in its index [11] * Make elasticsearch actually have shard allocation awareness [12] * Fixed bug - "You may create the page" suggestion does not appear if search contains 'AND', 'OR', 'NOT' anywhere in search even when these are not used as special syntax [13] * Updated WikimediaMaintenance/addWiki.php to create cirrus indices on all available clusters [14]
