Wikimedia Bugzilla is closed!

Wikimedia has migrated from Bugzilla to Phabricator. Bug reports should be created and updated in Wikimedia Phabricator instead. Please create an account in Phabricator and add your Bugzilla email address to it.
Wikimedia Bugzilla is read-only. If you try to edit or create any bug report in Bugzilla you will be shown an intentional error message.
In order to access the Phabricator task corresponding to a Bugzilla report, just remove "static-" from its URL.
You could still run searches in Bugzilla or access your list of votes but bug reports will obviously not be up-to-date in Bugzilla.

As per recommendations at: http://wp.wikidev.net/Schema_change_2004-08_searchindex

May also want to backport to 1.3 [as an experimental option] to get this running on Wikipedia asap.

Want to get this up and running.

Is this the new Lucene search, or does Lucene supersede this restructuring?

I'd say the Lucene search pretty well obsoletes this, as it's much more efficient than 
MySQL's search on large sites. On small sites it doesn't have to be terribly efficient, 
and the simplicity of the current schema is probably easier to deal with.

WONTFIXing this unless someone really wants to defend (and do) it.
