Hi Philippe,

We had received feedback that running the A/B tests on the Persian
Wikipedia would be a great way to test RTL languages for the purposes of
display and I agree. :)

At this time, we're only going to be doing the A/B tests on Wikipedia, not
directly on the other sister projects. But, if all goes well with the
testing and the community feedback, I'm sure that someone can use the code
to add the search capability to their own language sister projects.

Cheers,

Deb
