search.html is obsolete?

Dustin, could you have a look at this please?

Hi Matthew,

Please update all references of 004599128559784038176:vj_p0xo-nng in
the code to 003883529982892832976:e2vwumte3fq.

That should solve it :-)

Thanks!
Dustin

Can anyone provide a command using sed to find and replace the thousands of instances of 004599128559784038176:vj_p0xo-nng in help.ubuntu.com?

I only see two instances:

./libs/ubuntu-banner.xsl: <input type="hidden" name="cx" value="004599128559784038176:vj_p0xo-nng" />
./libs/ubuntu-banner.xsl: document.write(' <input type="hidden" name="cx" value="004599128559784038176:vj_p0xo-nng" />');

I pushed a branch that fixes this at: lp:~kirkland/ubuntu-docs/687995

I admit that I'm ignorant about the coding aspect of this issue and that I'm not sure which files are relevant to fixing the issue, but I have found this string "004599128559784038176:vj_p0xo-nng" in many files.

Dano, the xsl file that contains the code is executed as part of the transformation that converts our Docbook XML source into the HTML files. When we do we a build and export the html files to the help.ubuntu.com branch, the change will be made on all the files.

then you need to recompile the documentation? strange.

in help.ubuntu-it.org we use a search.js file for each release documentation saved for example in /10.10/ubuntu/libs/search.js

Each time we update this valute: var cseId = "008742922050479854700:sgrtw8uh7hc";

For example, in this release I forgot to update the value of CSEL. It 'was enough to create a new custom search by including the sitemap of the new documentation, no need to rebuild.

You can try: http://help.ubuntu-it.org/10.10/ubuntu/search.php?s=test

My two cents, bye.

Giuseppe - it sounds like we should adopt something similar. Would you be interested in working on a patch for this?

But we can't use php - does that matter?

Uhm... Really you can't use php in h.u.c?

In php page we use this script in php:

<?php
    $startCustomSearch = !empty($_GET['s']) ? $_GET['s'] : "";
    echo '<script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript">startCustomSearch = "' . $startCustomSearch . '";</script>';
?>

At the moment we have some documentation about this http://wiki.ubuntu-it.org/InterGruppi/NuoviRilasci
And we have a repo with custom code: https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-it-wiki/wiki-ubuntu-it/help-repo

Fortunally you know italian languages ;-)

I can try to perform this on h.u.c, in order to create a "local" search engine for each official doc version.

But on italian doc team we are overworked and there are few people (only two!). I can add this on my to do and them try to add in future a patch for 10.04 and 10.10 first.

Meanwhile, If others would like to begin this work would be welcome.

You can now find official docs when searching on help.ubuntu.com. Thanks for the report, Giuseppe, and for the patch, Dustin.
