Description Kunal Mehta (Legoktm) 2014-08-13 19:22:14 UTC 
mwgrep is a fantastic tool, but it's only available to shell users. There have been some discussions on IRC about making it available to other users.

I'm wondering if we can just turn this into a special page onwiki, that allows for cross-wiki regex searches? We can already use regex on one wiki (bug 43652), how difficult would it be to make that cross-wiki?
Comment 1 Nik Everett 2014-08-13 19:36:22 UTC 
We could try it.  We'd have to make sure the pool counter is pretty tight for it like we do single wiki regexps and we might have to fiddle with timeouts.  Otherwise we should be able to do it.
Comment 2 Chad H. 2014-08-13 19:56:58 UTC 
IMHO not going to happen because of the performance considerations. I'd much rather see us complete labs replication where we'd be able to expose mwgrep + any other crazy tool you can think up.
Comment 3 Kunal Mehta (Legoktm) 2014-08-14 00:00:55 UTC 
Is there a bug about replicating to labs?
Comment 4 Helder 2014-08-14 00:10:30 UTC 
I don't think so. We talked about it on IRC[1] but no one created a bug, AFAIK
