User:Smalyshev (WMF)/Archive search

= Testing search in deleted pages archive = During Wikimedia Hackathon 2016, Discovery team worked on one of the items on 2015 community wishlist, namely enabling searching archive of deleted pages. Now we are ready to deploy this capability in production, and are asking admins of select wikis to test-drive this feature. After accommodating the feedback from this trial, we plan to deploy it on all wikis and enable by default.

To test it on your wiki, please go to Special:Undelete page, and add &fuzzy=1 to the URL, like this: https://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AUndelete&fuzzy=1. Then search for the pages you're interested in. The results would show more results than before, due to using ElasticSearch indexing (via CirrusSearch extension). If you find anything that is not right with the results, or you want to be changed, please comment.
