Once the system is in place (T32673: Implement central locale-specific, or tailored, sorting framework (tracking)), we should start figuring out a way to use the collations. This one is a reminder to use it in the PrefixIndex system (used on Special:PrefixIndex as well is in ApiOpenSearch and perhaps other APIs supporting "things" by prefix (user contributions ?)
Version: unspecified
Severity: minor
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.
@MPhamWMF If the Search team doesn't want to keep owning the task, I think we can just remove the "Discovery-Search" tag. In fact, it looks like this task was only added to "Discovery-Search" in 2021, after 10 years.
Re-opening tasks and removing from team workboard per IRC feedback given yesterday and discussion with MPham.
