When searching on Commons results gives information about the size of pages.
In most cases it is something like:
203 B (20 words) - 10:40, 14 February 2010
For images this is changed to the image size:
2,112×2,816 (2,681,964 bytes) - 02:26, 12 August 2009
For categories I think number of category members is a more useful measure of size. The info could be presented as:
123 category members (100 pages, 20 files, 3 subcategories) - 10:40, 14 February 2010
Version: 1.17.x
Severity: enhancement
patch to display category sizes differently in search results
attachment categorysearch.diff ignored as obsolete
I made a patch to do this.
(It is in standard MediaWiki, so changing component from Extensions.)
a new patch where I tried to fix the mentioned problems
Here is another try.
*$wgLang->formatNum is used on numbers
*The new message is added to messages.inc
*It is not very important to me, but I choose the word "members" because (as far as I can see) the number is the total of pages, subcategories and files in the category. It is the same as the message 'nmembers' used in Special:Categories.
