[21:14] <mdke> kirkland: around?
[21:14] <kirkland> mdke: for a few minutes
[21:14] <mdke> kirkland: ah, ok. Another time then :)
[21:14] <kirkland> mdke: i was just looking at the search stuff
[21:15] <kirkland> mdke: i have about 15 or so
[21:15] <mdke> ah, that will be enough
[21:15] <kirkland> mdke: then i have to bring the dog to the vet ;-)
[21:15] <mdke> :(
[21:15] <mdke> i was going to ask about how to plug the search into a page so that maybe I can work at building it into the themes for help.u.c
[21:15] <mdke> I tried building it into the Moin theme, but didn't get that far
[21:16] <kirkland> mdke: ah, sure, it's pretty straightforward
[21:16] <mdke> I got it into the page alright, just didn't understand how to generate the results
[21:16] <kirkland> mdke: so where do you want the results?
[21:16] <kirkland> mdke: on a special "search results" page?
[21:17] <mdke> I guess so, what are the alternatives
[21:17] <mdke> ?
[21:17] <kirkland> http://people.ubuntu.com/~kirkland/search.html
[21:17] <kirkland> mdke: that's all on the same page
[21:17] <kirkland> mdke: search for a term, and you'll just see the results inserted into the page
[21:17] <kirkland> mdke: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/
[21:18] <kirkland> mdke: that one has the search box in the header, and the result return on a separate search page
[21:18] <mdke> that's the one we want
[21:18] <kirkland> mdke: (use the text search)
[21:18] <kirkland> mdke: okay....
[21:18] <kirkland> mdke: see the code for the ubuntu-manpage-repository
[21:18] <kirkland> mdke: bzr branch lp:ubuntu-manpage-repository
[21:19] <mdke> ok
[21:19] <kirkland> mdke: so you have the search box already in the header?
[21:19] <kirkland> mdke: or do i need to show you how to do that?
[21:20] <kirkland> mdke: what will be the page where search results will appear?
[21:20] <kirkland> mdke: it can be simple html
[21:20] <mdke> yes, I have that
[21:20] <kirkland> mdke: http://help.ubuntu.com/search.html ?
[21:20] <mdke> I guess we need to create a page on help.ubuntu.com for all search results
[21:20] <mdke> exactly
[21:21] <kirkland> mdke: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/57136/
[21:21] <kirkland> mdke: that's what goes in the header
[21:21] <kirkland> note the form action= bit
[21:21] <mdke> yeah, that's the thing I have
[21:21] <kirkland> mdke: modify that if you decide on a different destination for the search results
[21:21] <mdke> plus some javascript
[21:21] <mdke> i mean, some more javascript
[21:22] <kirkland> mdke: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/57138/
[21:22] <mdke> I was trying to figure out how to narrow the search bar a bit, but I think I can just checkout the source of manpages.ubuntu.com and figure it out
[21:22] <kirkland> mdke: put that where you want the results
[21:23] <mdke> ahh.
[21:23] <kirkland> mdke: just change size="22" in the text box input element
[21:23] <mdke> magnificent
[21:23] <mdke> ok, thanks a bunch
[21:23] <kirkland> mdke: all the code for managing the indexed sites, priorities, etc. is hosted on the google CSE site
[21:24] <kirkland> mdke: i tried to set it up for us to share access, but i'm not sure we ever got that working properly
[21:24] <mdke> yes, I suspect that that bit will have to be left to you :)
[21:24] <kirkland> mdke: i can try to transfer it to you, or you can trust me to it ;-)
[21:24] <mdke> as long as you're willing, then I'm more than happy :)
[21:24] <kirkland> mdke: nice, i think we're good then
[21:24] <mdke> great, thanks a lot
[21:24] <mdke> good luck with the dog, hope all goes well
[21:25] <kirkland> mdke: np.  is it working?
[21:25] <mdke> I'll give it a shot later...
[21:25] <kirkland> mdke: thanks, he has a cut on the pad of his foot that hasn't healed in a couple of weeks
[21:25] <kirkland> k
[21:58] <mdke> kirkland: for later - http://doc.ubuntu.com/~mdke/search.html - getting there...
