Season's Greetings, A few updates from the Discovery department this week.

This is the last weekly update from the Discovery department for the year. We'll be skipping next week due to the holiday's and will see you all in January with a fresh 2017 edition.

== Highlights == * Secondary result functionality will be available over the search API in early January! Currently, this allows consumers of the search API to benefit from automated language detection [[TextCat]] and forwarding of search queries. [0] [1]

=== Search === * Secondary result functionality will be available over the search API in early January! Currently, this allows consumers of the search API to benefit from automated language detection [[TextCat]] and forwarding of search queries. [0] [1] * Corrected an error on Hebrew wikis where searches without diacritics could sometimes not find appropriate results that contained diacritics. [3]

Feedback and suggestions on this weekly update are welcome.
