Note https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WikimediaIncubator where we seem to have a way to search in slices of one wiki. Could be interesting for the design.

Note that this means especially only for Phase I.

For the implementation, not that the Lucene-based search on Wikipedia is *very* different from the normal MySQL-based search. It seems likely that we will have to implement support for both separately.
