Hi GerardM, Thank you for your question. Special:MediaSearch is still in active development by the Structured Data team at WMF. It’s great to hear about your excitement around the tool. You can follow along on the MediaSearch project page [1]. We will be posting more updates to that page in the near future.
For those who aren’t familiar with the project, Special:MediaSearch is an image-focused user interface for searching Wikimedia Commons that includes: - An image-focused user interface that makes it easier to find what you're looking for and discover new things. - An improved set of search results that utilizes structured data and is more language-agnostic. - An autocomplete for search terms that leverages Wikidata's vast repository of labels & aliases. We welcome your feedback on the discussion page [2].
