Change Details

In February, Jon (that's me!) explored [[ https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/extensions/MobileFrontend/+/665434 | using Vue.js and the new wvui search inside the mobile site ]]. The change would throw away 782 lines of code while adding only 96 . The exercise was helpful in: * identifying some mobile challenges with our existing Vector design: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T275252 * discovering the new Vue search does not work with Wikidata, which blocks us rolling out the new Vector there. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T275251 Given our upcoming work on desktop improvements making search work at lower resolutions this is a good opportunity to tackle search from another angle. Might be blocked on the new API for wikidata (unless we are willing to disable search on wikidata.org, see subtasks). Would require Alex design input as there are some subtle changes # QA [] The overlay only shows when the person starts typing [] When tapping into search in Minerva there should never be the illusion the page has disappeared (see T216743 for more context on what we'd like to avoid)
