"An example I had from a while back is “steyer”. If you search in the wiki app none of the results relate to a person. But if you search on the site it will surface people leads and “tom steyer” will be the top result. I may be specific but I don’t think I’m a huge outlier in saying that a huge majority of my searches are people related so the way this works on mobile web and also wikipanion app is much better at prioritizing people pages. Plus the work is already mostly done, the prioritized people pages are built, they’re just not surfacing in the app. The other related item on this is spelling. Many times I’d you’re just two letters off but spelling it correct phonetically you’re SOL if you don’t know the exact spelling. Just a quick example although there are probably much better ones, take Ted kaczynski if you spell “kazinski” he’s nowhere to be found. Many times you may be wiki a person who’s name you may not know exactly"
