Description

I search for "NNQS" on WD expecting to find OTHER OTC (Q107188900): "OTC SECURITY THAT IS NOT QUOTED ON THE NNQS (PREVIOUSLY OTCBB)...". It finds that in second place, but also finds

  • Niassa Province (Q622799)
  • crematorium (Q157570)
  • etc

The reason is a Google KG id "/m/029nnq". So:

  1. that identifier is split to "029" and "nnq"
  2. "NNQS" is "converted from plural to singular".

Both of these steps seem gratuitous to me:

  1. "029nnq" is not two words so should not be split
  2. "NNQ" is not a word so should not be pluralized or singularized

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.
