Hello @Husky . Interesting work! FYI, the WMF Structured Data time is working on a couple of enhancements for search:

1. A while ago, we updated the suggested search dropdown to include an easier way to do haswbstatement:P180 searches. Try any search on Commons using the default search box and you'll see the "Files depicting..." section at the bottom of the suggestion list.
2. Also, we're researching an overhaul of the Commons search results UI that will include additional easy ways to search with statements. We hope to share the results of the early work soon.

Yeah, i noticed that. Seems like a small but interesting step!

Obviously, i'm really curious to see this.

The tool is now live at https://tools.wmflabs.org/hay/sdsearch/

@Ramsey-WMF you might want to take a look at the prototype again, i've improved it quite a bit with a couple of new things:

• Translated versions of the user interface in different languages
• An option to search for categories
• An option to export a query to Petscan

Nice work! We're exploring some of these features on our side as well, but I think our approach will ultimately end up diverging in a few key ways. That's okay though 😄 We're in the process of doing research with various demographic groups now and should have more info up relatively soon. For now, you can use our very early work-in-progress prototype here (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MediaSearch)

If you try a test search with "new york" or "redwood" or "van gogh" you can also try out our suggested search UI experiment.
