Alex Baranau commented on TIKA-488:
-----------------------------------
Hi Chris,
Thank you for reviewing the patch.
In case user doesn't select any provider from the dropdown then it is
determined randomly. And even if it was randomly determined we store the
selection in s cookie. I got this idea from Jukka's comment:
"...If the user doesn't make an explicit selection of the
provider, then one should be selected randomly for the first search
and remembered afterwards for consistency."
Do I understand his intention correctly?
Re "one year" life time: I thought it is a good term for this purpose. Please,
let me know if you think we should adjust it.
Alex.
> Add alternative search provider on site

> Key: TIKA-488
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-488
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: documentation
> Reporter: Alex Baranau
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: adding_alternative_search_provider.patch
>
>
> Add additional search provider (to existed Lucid Find) search-lucene.com.
> Initiated in discussion: http://www.search-lucene.com/m/uTJxE2kcRv1
> Requirements (copied from discussion):
> Jukka Zitting: "Ideally the search box would allow the user to choose which
> provider
> to use. Something like a cookie that remembers the user's selection
> would be nice. If the user doesn't make an explicit selection of the
> provider, then one should be selected randomly for the first search
> and remembered afterwards for consistency.
> It would be great if the required logic was implemented on the client
> side using javascript, as otherwise we'd need to start messing up with
> CGI scripts, etc."
