we need search wiki references and search rooms

Proposed wiki refereces and their corresponding uri schema:

search title xxx	.../search/title/xxx
search group ggg title xxx	.../search/group/ggg/title/xxx ?? do we really need this
search item xxx	.../search/item/xxx
search group ggg item xxx	.../search/group/ggg/item/xxx ?? do we really need this

I can't get the wiki reference for RTE titles because the RTE gets converted to lower case eg: Advanced RTE doesn't seem to have sound

Seems like it works to me. Notice that RTE showed up in the room Advanced RTE doesn't seem to have sound. The point is that the search for room criteria is case insensitive. That means you will get a match and don't need to worry how the thing is capatilized. I call that a feature not a bug.

Incidentally you seem to be wanting a wiki reference that works like the live title search

.
Is that what you want?

O--

I thought it worked that way. I forgot that you have to put the whole title in there. YES! a wiki reference that worked that way would be nice.

...otherwise I have to use the live search url made specific for the RTE or other search argument.

I extended this so as to request a FAQ reminding those who want to preserve a live search that the item can be entered in the search box and if you press the return button you get a page listing all the matches & THAT is the url to use in a wiki reference url link.

Unfortunately the latter hangs the system right now

yes, this should prolly be recorded separately as a bug. There are certain url's which cause the url parser in missing.html to spin and this might even be related to Server crash.

Do you apply all the protocols that you do for a tagroom? like eventually the button that goes to the first item in the search ?

Yes ... a room is a room is a room and all the "buttons" that navigate it should work regardless of the SQL command that generates it. To make this work that way we need to define a new uri scheme for searches

.../search/item/xxx
.../search/title/xxx/offset/10 (10 items back in the room)

thing is do you then allow that to happen withing a group ?

.../seth/search/item/xxx/offset/100

Incidentally, if a room is a room is a room, and if a room contains items, then that is what wel will see in the room. Not lists of titles or lists of whatever. Because of that we may need to define a new kind of room as a comment room for

.../search/comment/xxx
