Replaces the classic Lucene-backed search interface with a new Flask-based interface backed by Elasticsearch.
Elasticsearch. The most significant change in this release is that we moved away from a search index in the classic system based on a 2008 version of Lucene to an Elasticsearch cluster running in the cloud.
Better support for author names. Searching by author name was one of the most challenging parts of this milestone. We feel good about the current implementation, but are cognizant that there is ample room for improvement. Please let us know if you see any oddities while searching by author name.
TeXisms. We’re trying TeXism-based search in title and abstract fields! To search for a TeXism, enclose the expression in dollar signs ($).
Better support for DOI. We’ve added DOI as a search field (exact match only). In response to beta tester feedback, we also made DOIs more prominent in the search results.
