You +can enable this feature by setting `$wgSearchType` to ["SMWSearch"](https://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:SMWSearch). +The related configuration parameter [``$smwgFallbackSearchType``](https://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:$smwgFallbackSearchType) +allows specifying which search engine to fall back to in case "SMWSearch" returns no results. (#450, #496, #505) + +### SPARQLStore improvements + +The SPARQLStore now supports concept queries (#696) and regex like queries (`[[Url::~http://*query=*]] OR [[Url::~*ccc*]]`) for Page and URL values (#679). + +Notable performance improvements and many other fixes (can be found in the bug fix list) have been +made to broaden the SPARQLStore support. + +### Enhanced platform support + +SMW has partially supported PostgreSQL for a long time. This new release brings SMW's PostgreSQL +support to the same level as MySQL and SQLite, making it the third fully supported relational database. + +HHVM (HipHop Virtual Machine) 3.3 or above is now supported along with all previously supported PHP +versions. + +Although earlier versions of SMW probably work with MediaWiki 1.24, this new release officially +supports it. + +## New features + +* #546 Concepts can now be nested (bug 15316) +* #537 Modernized [`Special:SearchByProperty`](https://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Special:Search_by_property) interface +* #613 Added `subobject` parameter to the `BrowseBySubject` API module and imporved resolving of circular redirects +* #620 Added `--page` as export option to the [`dumpRDF.php`](https://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:DumpRDF.php) maintenance script +* #633 Made ouput decoding for uri's human readable (bug 35452) +* #643 Added `--runtime` option to [`rebuildData.php`](https://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:RebuildData.php).
