Greetings,

This is the weekly update for Discovery.

As always, feedback and questions are welcome.

== Discussions ==

=== Search === * Erik's bugfixes: T171009 (don't issue a near match query with empty query), T171155 (match redirects with the ''intitle'' keyword). [0] [1] * Stas' Wikidata entity search with Elastic is in testing [2] [3] * Stas' work on the archive search is in final call, to be enabled next week. [4] * David worked on collecting features from the sltr query by using a custom Accumulator to collect feature names and extracting feature vectors from the ltr plugin [5] * Trey's language analysis analysis tools will soon be released in RelForge. See phab ticket T171516. [6] Comments on the extensive/excessive documentation copied to MediaWiki are welcome. [7]

=== Analysis === * Chelsy found a bug in the ''renderMenu'' function in ''shinydashboard'' package that was fixed—but we need to wait for latest version to be uploaded to CRAN before we can patch our instance [8]

=== Interactive === * Mapframe was enabled for cswiki by a volunteer contributor. [0]
