We're in the home stretch with replacing the old search engine. I'd like to thank our many thousands of beta testers who opted in and provided their feedback throughout this process.
You might have noticed we've been rolling it out as the primary search engine on progressively more wikis. We're down to 11 of the largest wikis based on search traffic and we've put together a timeline for these:
commons - July 7 eswiki - July 9 nlwiki - July 14 plwiki - July 16 ruwiki - July 28 svwiki - July 30 zhwiki - August 13 dewiki - August 18 frwiki - August 20 jawiki - August 25 enwiki - August 27
It's basically 2 per week starting Monday with a weird break for Wikimania. Unless we find any last minute blockers I think we'll be done by the end of August :) If you find anything that's still a problem in Cirrus at all, even if it's minor and not a blocker please let us know in Bugzilla.
