Hello,

This is the weekly update from the Search Platform team for the week starting 2019-03-18.

As always, feedback and questions are welcome.

== Discussions ==

=== Search === * Nearly done with the upgrade to ElasticSearch v6: ** Upgrade relforge to elasticsearch 6.5.4 [0] ** Upgrade deployment-elastic* to 6.5.4 [1] ** Build wmf-elasticsearch-search-plugins.deb that supports elastic 6.5.4 [2] * There was a minor bug in not getting a search result for "garrett marquis" or "Garrett Marquis"; Erik investigated and found it was a minor html issue and corrected it. FYI, it will take ~8 weeks for all content across all wikis to be reindexed. [3] * As part of the work done to separate the CirrusSearch/Elastic specific code from Wikibase code base, Stas deployed WikibaseCirrusSearch in production and all searches are now running through it [4]

=== WDQS === * New Release of Blazegraph (2.1.5) is announced. We have released 0.3.1 version of WDQS build with it. [5]
