This is totally awesome!
That is an understatement! :-)
When I saw a wikisource page being offered for a Wikipedia search for the title of a marginally notable item, it was one of those "omg" moments. It is so sensible, and very cool.
The search should also hopefully give better ranked results than before.
I look forward to seeing how the new search algorithm works for Wikisource; it sounds like it will be a radical improvement for our purposes.
