Hi,

I replaced most of the <font> tags in the search results template (that
template came from the swish-e distribution package).

But my search results falls apart in NS4.0.  Can someone take a look and
see if they know any tricks to make NS4 work.

Someone's review of the styles I added might be wise, too. ;)

You can preview over my slow connection at

I added the "_" and ":" to what swish considers part of a word, so
searching for mod_perl really searches for the single word "mod_perl", and
searching for Apache::Registry will find that, as a single word, too.

That changes means searching for "Registry" won't find "Apache::Registry".
Play with that and see if you like it better.

Currently only pages generated with the "page_body" template are indexed.
This is because the spider is only extracting out content within

   <div class="index_section">

tags, and that's in page_body.  That means the index.html pages are not
indexed, which is probably what we want.

Searching in sub-sections seems to work reasonably well.  If you are on the
documentation page it will search all docs in the /docs/* tree, but if you
are looking at a Guide page and type search it will search just The Guide.

I'm still +1 for moving the search box to the side bar for two reasons: 1)
it frees up space in the content area, and 2) I like the idea of a radio
button to search the current section or everything.  Someone might be
browsing The Guide and then want to search for something, but not limit it
to The Guide.

One problem: did anyone look at that test in Netscape?  NS4 doesn't work.

Again, if someone can help find why NS4 is messing up in search results,
that would be a big help, as I have no idea!

Thanks,
