Talk:Wikimedia technical search

@Nemo, you should place the list of URLs for the custom search engine somewhere public, preferably in source control (github?) so people could contribute additions / tweaks.

Specifically, I’d love if the search included blog posts from Planet Wikimedia and Open Planet Wikimedia. Also, technical village pumps and perhaps template talk pages would be good places to search, also.

Finally, it seems obvious that code itself should be searchable (e.g. single-line comments that don’t make it to doxygen, or even class/function/variable names, etc.

 * @Waldir: I’ve just placed the list on the wiki: there isn’t any way to sync it automatically, is there? Planets can’t be searched, they’re ephemeral resources without archives so you’d be searching only the last few days, is this ok? Technical village pumps and template_talk namespaces are quite a challenge but I guess they may be included if someone made a list. Or you can add them yourself, I’ve added you as admin.
