Always great to feel I'm in the club

software donation to the ASF
I think I'll take Oliver advice, here: the github repo was only a place to
show off the thing and I'm the only contributor. And it's the less
work-demanding way ;)

Nice hint I was looking at something like this - hooking at the "post-site"
phase solves the issue of having the html files rebuilt AFTER the indexing
should disappear as well, right? You solved the first issue ;)
>> * I'd suggest to base the js search engine on a jquery compliant plugin
rather than an almost abandoned project
I was looking for a javascript search library I wrote myself in 2001 but
couldn't find it anymore and found this one, instead, which works well
enough and is apache licensed. Switching is pretty easy and I can make it
pluggable if needed. I also tried to write the author and the company
behind it but with no success, yet - I'll mantain it directly if he didn't
show up.
>> * users should be able to plug the search bar in different location
They already are - look at searchbox.html:
$(document).ready(function() {
> $("#dialog", window.parent.document).css('position', 'fixed');
> $("#dialog", window.parent.document).css('top', '10px');
> $("#dialog", window.parent.document).css('left', $(window).width()- 325
> );
> });
It's actually just a matter of changing top and left values - but all the
searchbox is customizable, it resides into site/resource for a reason ;) I
use jquery and html absolute positioning because I didn't want to tie this
to a particular skin but, of course, if a skin puts the tags (only one:
<iframe src="searchbox.html"> </iframe>) into the page directly where
needed things could even get simpler.
I also tried (of course :P) on DirectMemory's site - and it works fine,
positioned a bit more on the left and aligned to the incubator logo, but I
am not able to properly rebuild the site (the black top bar is always
missing) - wanna try that for yourself?
Ciao,
