As a Wikipedia user I want to be able to perform advanced search in Wikipedia with various parameters such as subject area/category, exact wording, logical operators or/and/without for keywords, author, number of edits in the last month/year, number of visitors of the last month and lenghts of the article.
Further details:
Effort:
Needs to be further discussed with: WMF, German Community
This is part of the Top 20 wishes of the German community
If I don't have a wrong understanding of "category", see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:CirrusSearch#Filters_.28intitle:.2C_incategory:_and_linksto:.29
See "Fuzzy search", "Phrase search and proximity" and "exact matches" on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:CirrusSearch
"and" exists, "without" also by using a minus in front of the scope: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:CirrusSearch
How is "author" defined? Search for Wikipedia articles that were ever edited by author ABC and/or author XYZ? Or "created" instead of "edited"? Curious what's the usecase and how common it is.

Is T11519: Search by page size close enough?
@thiemowmde: In T145934 we created a Accordion already, similar to the one we need for the advanced search UI
For posterity (and because I'm excited for this feature personally): A demo of this was shared at the recent Wikimedia Hacktathon in Vienna during the showcase on the last day. You can find a recording of the demo at the YouTube link below.

See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_Discovery#Search_prefix: for the background on that. Hoping that task might piggyback onto this one. This was originally implemented, almost overnight, when it was first requested, back in the day. But support was dropped when search was upgraded to a new platform.
This ticket scopes a whole bunch of aspects around search:
An advancedSearch form that helps you use existing keywords
Enhancing the search
All other mentioned paramenters (author, number of edits, number of visitors, length of the article) as far as I know are currently not part of the search, but I also don't know of any plans to change that.
I will close this ticket, since as a bundle nobody is working on it, and since work on the advancedSearch form can be followed here: T143310: Implement a way to access keywords such as "incategory", "intitle" via the Search special page
