This task encompasses the work to ship the new Vue.js-powered search experience to the initial deployment targets, the [[ https://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org | Beta-Cluster ]] and [[ https://test.wikipedia.org | Test Wikipedia ]] (testwiki). These wikis are more forgiving audiences for in-development features. So long as the feature doesn't break development workflows of someone else, it is usually a welcoming place for change. In the case of search, as soon as it is usable, it should be considered shippable to these wikis.
== Configuration
```lang=php
// Disable the old search experience from Core. Vector will provide its own in "Latest" mode (v2) only.
$wgVectorUseCoreSearch = false;
```
== Acceptance criteria
[] [[ https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/operations/mediawiki-config | mediawiki-config ]] is revised with the new configuration
[] The new Vue.js search experience is deployed to Beta-Cluster and testwiki but nowhere else.
[] A brief announcement is shared on #front-end and #humansoftheweb channels just to alert folks that stuff is up.
[] The error logs are checked for new errors on the Beta-Cluster and testwiki (review the [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Reading/Web/Chores | chores page ]] for links).
[] The Performance team, Core Platform API team, and Edward are notified so they can evaluate in a production-like environment if wanted.
[] **Deploy to beta cluster on: TBD**
[] **Deploy to testwiki and officewiki on: TBD**
== Pre-deployment
