Description

The search is returning nothing at all:

doesn't matter if I am on wikidata.org or www.wikidata.org

do not work for me either, for non-items and normal wiki pages.

Version: wmf-deployment
Severity: critical

• bzimport raised the priority of this task from to High.Nov 22 2014, 1:33 AM

• bzimport set Reference to bz45073.

• bzimport added a subscriber: Unknown Object (MLST).

I have no idea how long it has been like this, and there very well may be a duplicate bug but can't find it.

The search has never been good but it returning nothing is not nice at all.

this problem is not just on wikidata.

for example, Google tells me there is plenty of stuff for search to find.

same problem :(

Checked at nowiki and the same thing there.

search works again

Happened again: reported by Lars and quickly fixed by Ariel.
