Talk:Wikimedia Discovery

Activity?
According to Wikimedia Foundation Engineering reorganization FAQ, "Search and Discovery" is a team, not an activity. If so, AFAICS it shouldn't use that template and it should be named Wikimedia Search and Discovery or similar (available information on "and" vs. "&" and casing is inconsistent). --Nemo 17:11, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
 * +1, the other point is, that "search" redirects to "Search and Discovery" (in my point of view a vote for deleting, searching for "Search", I normally don't think about to find a page of a team), and for "mediawiki search" in Google this page has a relatively good rank, but it doesn't describe a function in the mediawiki software, or (like you said) an activity. So i suggest to move this page to a page with a clear title. --Florianschmidtwelzow (talk) 08:00, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
 * The page has been moved to Discovery, so no longer has the word "search" in it, nor "&". --KSmith (WMF) (talk) 22:59, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Nemo just moved this page, without consultation. I don't necessarily object, but some discussion would have been polite. Unlike all the other Wikimedia xxx team pages mentioned at team prefix:Wikimedia, Discovery is an entire Department, like Reading and Editing. --KSmith (WMF) (talk) 05:35, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
 * There is a discussion about WMF team pages, their names and locations, at meta:Meta:Babel which I hope you will contribute to. Rogol Domedonfors (talk) 20:59, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

CirrusSearch component
There are several interesting reports in the CirrusSearch component. In Phabricator I see quite some activity around recent things, while reports formerly considered normal/high priority (i.e. useful to improve search results) are mostly inactive. Does someone plan to go through all the reports and triage them? It would probably take less than a day for one of the ElasticSearch persons. --Nemo 11:28, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
