Rationale: when i run a search for something in wikisource, with high probability, a convenient way to read, or even edit the wikisource, is very useful.
not monumental improvement, but will be very useful to small number of people, and hopefully will be a 5-liner... :)
peace
This is easy to do as a gadget or user script:

As insource in a special functionality of CirrusSearch, and the search UI is all in core, this is unfortunately not a 5-line patch. Not sure the best route to an implementation. There is also a design question of clutter in the UI that I'm not an expert on. As the functionality is fairly niche, a gadget or user script sounds like a pretty reasonable solution.
Closing out low/est priority tasks over 6 months old with no activity within last 6 months in order to clean out the backlog of tickets we will not be addressing in the near term. Please feel free to reopen if you think a ticket is important, but bare in mind that given current priorities and resourcing, it is unlikely for the Search team to pick up these tasks for the indefinite future. We hope that the requested changes have either been addressed by or made irrelevant by work the team has done or is doing -- e.g. upgrading Elasticsearch to a newer version will solve various ES-related problems -- or will be subsumed by future work in a more generalized way.
Re-opening tasks and removing from team workboard per IRC feedback given yesterday and discussion with MPham.
