Topic on Talk:Wikimedia Discovery/So Many Search Options

The table there looks good to me, so I'd propose to organize the second-chance searches as a module that would essentially do two things - a) look at the query and the result and see if it can do better (e.g. whether it has quotes to remove) and b) do the search and return new result.

With this, we can chain the available second-try searches and even allow customized ones. What do you think?

Seems reasonable, though I want to invoke @EBernhardson (WMF) for his opinion, since he worked on the lang ID implementation, IIRC. The idea of hooks for customizable second-try searches is interesting, too, if it's easy enough to support.
