Tech:Add external search form to SpecialSearch
From Wikitravel Shared
Google search form[1] appeared when the search daemon was down. The form was useful and helpful to search among language versions (through all wikitravel.org).
I think there are two ways to implement it.
- Enable MediaWiki:Common.js and write JavaScript code into it like wikipedia's drop-down menu on Special:Search or like simple search form in MediaWiki:Googlesearch.
- Modify
function showResults()in SpecialSearch.php[2] to show the form in MediaWiki:Googlesearch on both$wgDisableTextSearchis true and false.
Personally, the first one is good for me since I've made an another tech request about css/js thing. -- Tatata 03:30, 21 September 2007 (EDT)
