This week we are deploying a new search engine at http://mediawiki.org - 
as a first step to end up revamping the search backend for Wikipedia ad 
the rest of Wikimedia projects. Would this be something you are interested?

We hope to have specific instructions for testers later today. In the 
meantime, if you want to learn about Search see

The extension that will provide Elastic Search in substitution of the 
Lucene based search used until now:

PS: if you let us know more about your interests we might be able to 
point you to other projects. How did you find us?
