John,
Here are few issues which I found:
1.
If I click on the magnifier without entering anything, the PM is
trying to search for "Search (Ctrl-F)"
Some packages are being displayed after which I am getting:
"No packages found in opensolaris.org matching Search (Ctrl-F)"
This is a bug I now check for this and don't allow search when search
text in prompt mode.
2.
I can not right click on the web page with "No packages found..." I
found this while
trying to copy and paste the result to this message. Is this intentional?
Its just what the GtkHTML control gives by default, no right click menu.
Webkit would provide this type of functionality if we wanted it.
3.
pfexec rm -rf /var/pkg/gui_cache/
- Start PM (the PM should start with the opensolaris.org repo)
- Click on the search magnifier without entering anything to the
search box
> Nothing is found
- Click on "Search for Search (Ctrl-F) within All Publishers"
- Very quickly click on the "Click on the Publishers below to view
their list of packages:"
"opensolaris.org"
As the result empty list of packages will be preserved in the cache
and I had to click Refresh to have it working back.
Yep I can reproduce this by searching for say testx in opensolaris.og.
It fails and displays the help page, click on search in All Publishers,
now All Publishers page is displayed and hitting on the browse for
opensolaris.org cause the problem.
I am now making sure to display the list when the search is initiated
from the Page for All Publishers. One issue I have is that the busy
cursor is not displayed over the list empty list during search.

Hi John.
1. Most of the time, after link has been activated and the
corresponding
package list populated, nothing seems to have focus. From an a11y
standpoint, it would be helpful if *something* were given focus after
the user activated one of the links on the new page. (The resulting
accessible focus-related events would cause Orca to present the new
location.) Therefore, is there a widget everyone can agree upon as the
likely "next step" for the majority of users? If so, would it be
possible to put focus there?
Sure - I am now just putting the focus back in the Publisher
combobox. Seems a reasonable place to focus as you have just
switched to this Publisher in the same way as if you had clicked in
the combobox.
2. The act of getting from the Publisher combo box to the new page via
keyboard is not unlike getting to the package list after a search: The
user shouldn't press Tab because landing in the category tree on
the way
restores the package list. Using the Ctrl+L workaround fails
because it,
too, causes the package list to be restored.
Given that the decision was made to provide Ctrl+L rather than to
expect
the user to know to Shift+Tab after a search, would it make sense to
cause Ctrl+L to give focus to the new page in this case?
Ok if a page is displayed I focus on it, otherwise I focus on the
package list. Will see if Ann and Jyothi want a change to the Menu
item Edit->Go to package list (Ctrl-L) as it now goes to package
list or notebook page.
JR
Thanks in advance. Take care.

bug: 11669 Enhance handling of Search All Publishers to match

I had to rework things a bit to take account of the fact that you
can now save the last Publisher on shutdown and restore on
startup. This requires special handling for All Publishers. I also
added Jyothi's request to allow you to have a browse link from the
Search All Publishers page. This might address the following bug,
it certainly gives you a fast startup and easy access to browsing
the Publishers if you wish:
11646 Restoring All Publisher should also restore last viewed
publisher categories

John,
I can see in many places html code with some strings not being

Is it intentional ?

Hi here is a webrev to update some of PM's search behavior, in
particular when switching into All Publishers and when zero
results are returned. This was driven by feedback from the
usability studies.

From the bug:
When we switch into the All Publishers view currently the user
sees an empty
list, same is true if zero results are returned for All
Publishers or any
Publisher. Change to match the spec are as follows:
- Switching to All Publishers, display a page in the List view
location giving
users some help about the mode they are in.
- Searching in a publisher that returns zero results, display a
page giving
them some help. Also allow them to re-excute the search in All
Publishers from
this page.
- Searching in All Publisher that returns zero results, display
a page giving
them some help.
- Searching using * in All Publishers is not supported, display
a page
explaining this to the user.
