You might be able to use the new m.wikipedia.org in the mean time ?

This was caused by search.wikimedia.org, which isn't sending along a User-Agent.

The server has been whitelisted again now, and the search interface of mobile.wikimedia.org is back online.

Repurposing this bug to be about fixing yongle so it does set a User-Agent.

Temporarily fixed by re-adding yongle to the empty UA exemption list. I'll poke at properly fixing yongle later.

Marking bug as assigned to Roan per c5

This was fixed ages ago, I forgot there was a bug for it.
