@Dustin: On our e-mail thread you had asked that we review the inclusion
of wiki.ubuntu.com in "a few days". We would like to push a review out
about 2 months. Would that be O.K. with you?

Due to issues with the .htaccess file and the the robots.txt file and
the CSE needing an update, we think people have not been using the built
in search. We want to try to get a broader audience using it again and
get opinions.

Title:
  Searching on https://help.ubuntu.com/ doesn't produce results from
  wiki.ubuntu.com

Status in “ubuntu-docs” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  What is expected to happen is when one goes to:
  https://help.ubuntu.com/

  and searches for example Debugging, one of the results would be:
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures

  However, no results from wiki.ubuntu.com are listed under any of the
  default categories (All Results, Official, Community, Technical,
  AskUbuntu). One would have to know upfront from trial and
  error/experience that in order to get results from wiki.ubuntu.com one
  has to go to there and then look it up.

  While I am aware of the different articles that I typically look for,
  and on which page to search for them, I constantly find myself
  desiring to be able to do a one stop shop search, instead of flipping
  between the two. Given this, having this searching capability would
  certainly empower the Ubuntu Community in their efforts to search for
  relevant documentation.

  One potential resolution would be to integrate the results from
  wiki.ubuntu.com into Official, as the articles there tend to be
  released from Ubuntu/Canonical developers, and are of high technical
  quality.

  If this would not be preferred, another solution would be to create a
  new search category (ex. Ubuntu Wiki), that populates results from
  wiki.ubuntu.com only.
