User talk:TJones (WMF)/Notes/Cross Language Wiki Searching

Hi Trey Jones, I absolutely agree with your summary, "Perhaps a better approach to handling non-English queries is user-specified alternate languages." That is why i have made a collection about multilingual search "past, present and future" at de:Benutzer:Atlasowa/multilingual_search. Lots of pictures and stats and relevant links. Have a look. --Atlasowa (talk) 15:17, 22 September 2015 (UTC)
