Abstract (up to 300 words to describe your proposal)
  • The Discovery Search team has done a multitude of new features, finessing of code, and updates over the last year. We’d like to show you how we came up with these ideas and how we implemented them on our sites. This will include updates on search result relevance, the back end search APIs, language analyzers, machine learning, and more. We’ll also discuss new functionality that Wikipedia users interact with on a daily basis—the search results page.
