**Author:** `brian` **Description:** It is currently not possible to search all languages unless you search through an external search engine, but I don't think most people realise how this works, and the convenient links to other search engines won't be available once we get the new database servers. I show below an unsigned comment that came from [[Meta:Wikimedia site feedback]]: Today I was looking for "Kalignost" which happens to be a german brandname for tetraphenylborate. The english language search didn't come up with anything, not even links to "other languages" ... with reference to the previous point, I would think this could be helpful ... -------------------------- **Version**: unspecified **Severity**: enhancement **See Also**: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44038 https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44420
