@Jaredzimmerman-WMF Do you mean to do what we did on the apps, and include Wikidata descriptions in search results on other platforms like desktop and mobile web?

@Deskana not quite, rather treat wikidata descriptions as content that is used in full text search.

This should not be done until Wikidata is immune to vandalism and spam.

That seems like an impossible goal. Also I'm unsure why that would be a blocker for this task.

Because Wikidata items have many edits (due to many languages), but few watchers (for the same reason).

I wonder what kind of searches are meant there, because Wikidata descriptions are already being used in Wikidata searches. Is this done?
