Hi Franz,
I am CCing your email to the public Analytics list so that others may respond too. In
short, those links don’t work because releasing the data was a mistake. You can see the
Update from 2012/9/20 at the top of the post that explains why.
There isn’t an easy way to safely release user search queries without potentially
compromising private user data. I don’t think we even collect this data at the moment.
Since that blog post, our search architecture has changed, and the new one doesn’t have
the ability to collect the queries easily. I believe
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T103505
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T103505> is a ticket to start doing this, but I
don’t know if there is a real timeline to make this happen.

Dear Andrew Otto,
I have a question about the announcement concerning search logs on this
page:http://blog.wikimedia.org/2012/09/19/what-are-readers-looking-for-wiki…
<http://blog.wikimedia.org/2012/09/19/what-are-readers-looking-for-wikipedia-search-data-now-available/>.
The links given there don't seem to work.
Have you been able to make this service accessible ?
I am working on a new search device for Wikipedia where as much of the searchable
information (at the fact level) as possible would be presented in an autosuggest mode; it
would be helpful to have an overview of the query complexity of queries to Wikipedia. If
you know of any other sources for Wikipedia query logs any information would be highly
apprecated.
Thank you in advance for your hellp.
