Suggestion: Show structured caption in search results

Issue:

Sometimes it is not immediately clear why a file is returned in image results, or even what it is, consider searching for "cat" in commons. Currently it shows "https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:B%C3%B6dele_Winterpanorama_2013.jpg&oldid=282845830". It is not immediately obvious, even when viewing the file page why it claims to include a "Cat" (it seems to be referring to the "snow mobile".

Use case:

As a user, I'd like to see the most relevant caption in search results, instead of random text.

Proposed solution:

  • Show the caption (when available) above the search snippet;
  • Show the caption in the user's language ; or alternatively in the wiki default language.
