The CirrusSearch documentation on mw.org (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CirrusSearch) is out of date.
Cirrus is now tightly coupled with core and version dependencies are not obvious for third parties.
We should maybe start to version CirrusSearch properly or maybe follow core versions, e.g. CirrusSearch 1.28 requires core 1.28.
Concerning features, many new features/configs were added to cirrus but they are not mentioned in the documentation.

Since the creation of this task myself, User:Cpiral, and many others have updated the Help:CirrusSearch documentation. (totally useless diff)
While not what this task is discussing, the Help:CirrusSearch documentation does describe the features of the extension in detail. I mention this as perhaps the work required for updating Extension:CirrusSearch should focus more on the first issue in this task ("Cirrus is now tightly coupled with core and version dependencies are not obvious for third parties."), and let the latter fall to the responsibility of Help:CirrusSearch.

T87892 helps do that with setting MW require versions, as well as better versions to the extensions itself...
