Based on comments in the RfC, for our production release, let's suppress (or not request) results from multimedia/commons, wikiversity and wikinews for the sister project snippets.
Also, for wikivoyage, we'll need to change the query to use the title search only
Once the changes have been made, we'll update the wmflabs instance with the new code, so that we can test and verify the new results.

Just to clarify, is this for English Wikipedia only? Other language variants have been approached and have not expressed the same concerns.
We'll do this update for all wikis. The RfC is only for enwiki but I think at this time, it's best to keep all wikis with the same configuration. This might mean that our use of the SiteMatrix will go away, as we will now need to fine-grain the configuration for searches.
Just FYI, there is another ticket (T163223) that is exploring using boosted templates for the multimedia/commons images. My idea is to get that up and running on wmflabs and then do a RfC with the community on if this new way of searching/displaying images in the sister projects is good enough to go into production.
This has partially been completed - using title searches only for wikiversity and wikivoyage. see T163546 and https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/350453/ for more info.
@dcausse - would you be able to confirm that the work has been done with for ticket (completed as part of T163546)?
@debt inspecting the config for english wikipedia the current status is (production settings at the time of writing this comment) :
So to sum up with what was requested for this ticket:
I can SWAT a patch to do 1 & 2 but for 3 it's still unclear to me what need to be done.
@debt please let me know what you'd like to do.
If the question was more "Are all the required patches deployed to configure "crosswiki blacklist & titlesearch"?
The answer is yes (except for blacklisting commons where I don't know the answer).
Hi @dcausse - thanks for the review! :)
Let's do a swat for:
- title search should be enforced only for wikivoyage on all wikis
- blacklist wikiversity and wikinews on enwiki only
- blacklist multimedia/commons on enwiki only
I love the patch that @EBernhardson used for the boosted templates for the commons/multimedia images display, but the enwiki community seems to still not be comfortable with releasing it. However, using the boosted templates for images should be used for all other wikis.
So, to recap:
Change 353043 had a related patch set uploaded (by DCausse; owner: DCausse):
[operations/mediawiki-config@master] [WIP] [cirrus] Blacklist wikinews and wikiversity from cross project search on enwiki
There are two patches in core and CirrusSearch that needs to be rolled out with the train. Everything should be deployed on May 26 (no train deploys next week).

The testing URL has now been updated to look like what will go into production on enwiki, hopefully next week, barring any other issues.
