Reenable commonswiki sister search
Closed, ResolvedPublic3 Estimated Story Points

Description

As a searcher i want related images returned with full-text search search so I find a wider variety of content.

Alternatively

As a ??? I want to re-enable commonswiki in the sister-search sidebar to give searchers more visibility into the various sites we operate and the content available.

Commonswiki was removed from sister search in T264053 as a mitigation for operational issues. That issue has been mostly root caused and resolved, we should be able to re-enable this feature without causing negative impact to the service. We will need to monitor after rollout to ensure that is the case.

Mentioned in SAL (#wikimedia-operations) [2021-08-03T23:17:26Z] <ebernhardson@deploy1002> Synchronized wmf-config/InitialiseSettings.php: Config: [[gerrit:709770|Re-enable commonswiki sister search (T277225)]] (duration: 01m 07s)

Configuration was deployed, we can see results being presented on wikis. No noticable change reviewing IO graphs for the past few days. When this was first undeployed we saw a noticable decrease in the need to pull data from disk, having no change when redeploying suggests we have sufficient capacity now.
