Description lorisboillet 2010-02-07 13:57:05 UTC
I really miss the option to search for articles in more than one wikipedia; currently I am constantly switching from the english to the french one, or then from the danish one back to the english one, etc. Since the english wikipedia is the best for "general" articles, but others wikipedia still have more information about "local" stuff, I am pretty sure this would be helpfull to lots of people (read lots of europeans like me ;) )

Maybe add the possibility to configure the search engine for multiple languages (with a limit to 10 for instance), and then add a link to the search in the others languages or display all results in one page?

I think this is independant from Lucene so I file this here; I hope it's the right place.

Thanks,

Loris

PS: If you agree with this and then point me to where/how I could help implementing it, I would be really glad to.
