Here's the error:

Search backend error during complex_query search for 'filetype:bitmap|drawing -fileres:0 cat' after 69: Parse error on Cannot search on field [descriptions.mul] since it is not indexed.

mul is apparently a special locale indicating multilingual content, see ISO 639. It's part of the mappings, see query dump . Executing the query on eqiad/codfw search clusters works just fine. Does beta have its own search cluster?

beta does indeed have it's own search cluster, but we are in the process of replacing the elasticsearch cluster with an opensearch one as part of T388610. As the beta cluster is tiny we are starting with a fresh cluster and will rebuild all the indices there from scratch, that should mean that this ticket will fix itself when those new indices are built.

should now be working properly
