Image searches based on image recognition
This is mainly needed on Wikimedia Commons. But if we had it there it would be useful in many other places.
Image searches based on image recognition is a newish area of technology, I've seen it demonstrated at the British Library, it would have many interesting uses on Wikimedia Commons, not least in categorising new images; but also in enabling our GLAM partners and others to find new similarities amongst art objects and especially archaeological objects uploaded on Commons. Ideally it should work both from an individual image - "find images like this" from a category - these thousand images are examples of what a ship looks like, please find more like them, and from a highlighted area of an image.

- Neutral I think this is useful and has the potential to become an important feature of Wikimedia's pages -- but I think it would take a lot of work to implement, and that it's not really a priority. -- 2ReinreB2 (talk) 21:40, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
- Support I'm currently studying this technology. We can also imagine to search an image from a drawing interface, or a sound by humming. JackPotte (talk) 21:52, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

Improve Special:LinkSearch
Special:LinkSearch presently provides a rather messy and inflexible interface. It is useful only for finding links to sites that are rarely linked, as the list quickly becomes cluttered. Of the possible improvements, two would greatly increase its usability for editors:
- Allow the search to be easily limited to a single namespace. This would allow editors to focus on links appearing in articles rather than in talk-page discussions, userpages, etc
- Identify whether the link appears in the article body, references, or at the end of the article. By consensus, certain links are not considered to be reliable sources but may be used as external links; generally, external links should not appear inline (except as interwiki links).

Multilingual search
Allow users to search across all languages of a project, e.g. to optionally return results of a search on English Wikipedia across all the Wikipedias.

- Oppose. Probably not feasible performance-wise. In the meantime, you can search "site:wikipedia.org X" using your favorite search engine. MER-C (talk) 12:14, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

Provide a means of searching for deleted pages
As an administrator, I want to search the archive table for deleted pages whose title I don't exactly remember, or are similar in nature -- e.g. "Dr. John Smith", "John Anthony Smith" and "John Smith". Bonus: add pagination to Special:Undelete (should be easy).
