Hey everyone,

I've re-run my "big" wiki zero result rate numbers to see what has changed in the last month. The results are here:

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:TJones_(WMF)/Notes/Survey_of_Zero-Results_Queries#One_Month_Followup

Since I was only looking at the big 52 wikis (100K+ articles), the zero results rate is under 20% (good news), but it hasn't gone down in a month (bad news).

I looked very briefly at the full text zero results rate for the rest of the wikis for yesterday. That zero results rate was 56.6%! Lots of hits from wikidata and itwiki-things! There were some DOI queries, but none of the other usual suspects.
