We're currently live on all non-Wikipedias, non-Commons, non-Meta and non-Incubator as the primary search engine and have been for a little while now. The Wikipedias and the 3 misc. projects I mentioned above all have the new search available as a Beta Feature. We've had many thousands of users trying things out and the feedback has been very positive thus far. (shameless plug to please give feedback on [[mw:Talk:Search]] or Bugzilla. Nothing helps us find bugs and get them fixed faster than user feedback) We could probably swap the remaining non-English Wikipedias, Meta and Incubator into having the new search engine as their primary without worrying about performance. Commons too, possibly, but we'd have to keep an eye on things. enwiki we know we can't quite handle yet but we're working on it. Vague timelines suck I know, but trying to get the performance we need out of Elasticsearch is a multifaceted problem and we've been trying to roll this out with the minimal amount of disruption to everyone as possible. -Chad _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>
