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!
