The Search team is looking for a volunteer to help with this easy ticket: Enable search result ranking in MySQL full text search.

Serbian-language wikis have been updated with a new language analyzer for search that does some stemming (so that related forms of a word can find each other) and handles the transliteration between the Serbian Cyrillic and Latin alphabets, which are both used in Serbian. [1]
...and work on the plugin and re-indexing the wikis to allow the new Serbian alphabets to be used is also done [2] & [3] & [4]
Stas fixed some bugs for deep category search [5] [6]
Completion search for Lexemes merged [7]
Fixed some indexing errors [8]
Cirrus profile management has been updated to provide a standard way to override profile content [9]
Fixed issues with ElasticSearch latency alerts on ~15 wikis that had the issue [10]
