Querying the URL datatype with haswbstatement
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

haswbstatement currently supports datatypes such as external identifier and string but not the URL datatype.

It would be very useful if one could search for urls in the following manner:
https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=search&srsearch=haswbstatement:P856=http://www.nationalmuseum.se/

Event Timeline

For wikidata properties types they need to be explicitly whitelisted. I poked through our data and the field that currently holds this data has ~241M unique values. Adding the url's should only increase it by 1-2M, so probably fine. Or not entirely fine, these 241M unique values have to stay resident in memory multiple times, but adding 1% isn't going to change anything.

For actually rolling this out, it will be between 2 and 3 months after the config change is shipped for the wikidata index to be fully populated with urls

Forced a reindex on Q842858, it is now returned by the example query. As mentioned it will be two to three months before this has the urls indexed for all wikidata items.
