What's improved?
The new search engine features three main improvements over the old search engine, namely:


 * Better support for searching in different languages.
 * Faster updates to the search index, meaning changes to articles are reflected in search results much faster.
 * Expanding templates, meaning that all content in an article that's in a template is now reflected in search results.
