Now, maybe an open-source search engine would be a good thing for the
WMF to create! But that would be a major strategic decision.
Search is a critical feature in all online services, especially for a
service with a mission to "empower and engage people around the world to
collect and develop educational content under a free license or in the
public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally".
Putting resources to improve search is no a "major strategic decision”. it
is business-as-usual.
Also federated / semantic search to all the Wikipedia projects and outside
sources of free content is definitely worth of exploring. Any strategies
should have space to explore things that are advancing the mission.
