Adding ability to search by metadata: document and announce
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Now that we've added the ability to search by using metadata (epic ticket: T144447), we'll want to document how to do this as well as announce this to the community.

Event Timeline

I'll take this. Think this is a good personal goal for me for Q2 @debt?

Technical documentation here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:CirrusSearch#File_properties_search

Please review/fix/improve. Announcement should be after we reindex (T145561).

@Smalyshev I took a look at the documentation. Thank you for adding it! I fixed a few things and formatted things a little.

I added an update to Discovery's weekly update. This is almost done. Do we want to announce this to any mailing lists?

I sent a short announcement to the commons, discovery-l and wikitech mailing lists. It's also added to the next issue of Tech/News for 21 November.
