The Lucene search is now active on the following wikis:
*
http://en.wikipedia.org/
*
http://eo.wikipedia.org/
*
http://ru.wikipedia.org/
*
http://meta.wikimedia.org/
And when the index is done building, also:
*
http://de.wikipedia.org/
The choice of initial languages is driven by availability; English,
German, and Russian word-stem normalizers are included in the main
Lucene package and I wrote a quickie Esperanto one as a test since I was
familiar with the language. There are a number of other analyzers
available in contribs packages which I'll be setting up over the next
couple days, as well as indexing the rest of the wikis on the supported
languages.
At the moment the indexes aren't being automatically updated with
changed pages, but that should be a relatively straightforward addition
which is also coming soon.
