Many more features to come :)

Big thanks to @EBernhardson for creating the CloudElastic service, and helping me put this application together!

@Trizek-WMF Seems this might be useful to announce in tech news? I'm not entirely sure, but it seems global wikitext search ought to be useful to a number of editors.

That would be very cool!

There's just one critical bug left that I know of (it doesn't know about labsdb). After that's fixed, I plan on promoting this tool through several venues. If we can advertise it in Tech News too, that would give us the reach to all those wikis that we otherwise wouldn't have. It is a *global* search, after all, so it may be of interest to all communities.

Sorry for the late reply. Rule of thumb: in doubt, add it to Tech News. The task will be reviewed in any case. :)
