Project Name: SisterSearch

Purpose: For development, we need a vanilla MediaWiki instance with a development and debugging environment to minimize platform issues

Brief description: Interface to expose inter-project search results on every page, to improve UX, cross-wiki reader and editor engagement. See sketches below.

Special:Search Proposed:

   +---------+  +-------+   +-------+    +------------+   <-- NEW tabs for project selection
   | Encyclo |  | Books |   | Media |    | Dictionary |   
   |          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^+
   | Type search query here ....                                                     |
   +---------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

Wiki page Proposed:

                                              "Foo" * *  talk prefs watchlist logout
   
   +---------+  +------+   +------+         +---------+
   | Read    |  | Talk |   | Edit |         | History |  [\/] [ Type search query here... ]
   |          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
   |  DOG                                                  ^-- NEW Dropdown for project selection
   |  
   |   Dog is an animal ...
   |   ..........................................................

These two are also possible but kind of take too much space and add redundancy when the user has Special:Search open, then they see two tabbed search textboxes:

   +---------+  +------+   +-------+    +------------+   <-- NEW tabs for project selection
   | Encyclo |  | News |   | Media |    | Dictionary |   
   |          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^+
   | Type search query here ....                                                     |
   +---------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
   
   +---------+  +------+   +------+         +---------+

   |          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
