Topic on Help talk:Extension:AdvancedSearch

Hi @קיפודנחש, you're right, that helps a lot to make the existing options more visible. Out of the same reason, we wanted to have info boxes next to the search fields, so that people can learn about the search syntax, and can find the Cirrus search help page for more information. About deepcategory: It is a fairly new keyword and still work in progress, this is why it only got announced via the discovery mailinglist. I think it would make sense to advertise it more broadly once more work is done, or announce it via the AdvancedSearch updates. About the work in progress: Not all category trees in the different wikis are indexed yet. That means that the "pages in these categories" field works for deep category searches on enWP, heWP, deWP ... among others, thereas it works like "incategory" on others. Category trees of more wikis are planned to be indexed soon, so that they can be searched within the given limits in more wikis (a hint about that will be added to the infobox for the keyword on AdvancedSearch with next week's software update). Regarding supporting negatives: I filed phabricator tickets so that we have it on our radar: T194449 and T194448. Thanks again for the suggestion :-)
