Event Timeline
A statement traversal issue:
When I search for media of "woman", most media including notable women such as Michelle Obama won't be returned. The depicts statements on those images will usually link to the actual person, who are stated as "instance of: human" and "gender: female". Same applies when searching for man, girl, boy, cyclist, painter, etc.
OK the general case of statement traversal at index time is not going to work - see T199119

Investigated and concluded traversal for search isn't reasonable with current state of Wikidata hierarchy.
