Hi Philipp Hi Sander On 19.01.2024 16:51, Sander Steffann wrote: please find a way to make the RIPE DB search the dominant one again. I agree with this. I'm not much of a proficient user of the website. When I tried to use the database search yesterday (before reading this email thread today), I was very confused why there weren't any results for a role object, that I was sure had to exist. If you disagree and want to keep the website search on top, then you could put a link on the no results page. Perhaps one saying something like "Did you mean to query the database", which ideally prefills your query-text in the DB search if clicked. This would make the transition easier for people like me who blindly assume the search in the same general UI region still does the same, I think.

Uh. yeah, that's a bizarre thing. I think that it got refactored wrong. Someone assumed it was part of the search, since that's where it was located.

Re: [ripe-list] The redesigned www.ripe.net is now live
RIPE NCC, thanks for evolving the site! When it comes to searching, I agree with Andy that a search field on a web site leads me to believe that it searches that website*, and not some "external" databse – and I like to have it that way. To access the RIPE DB over HTTPS, I would like so see that as a second, and separate, search field, so that I can "tell the system" where I want it to search, e.g.: Search website: .. Search RIPE DB: .. Myself, I'm old enough to prefer the whois CLI tool to lookup stuff in the DB, but I know that I'm old-fashioned, and I do respect that HTTPS is easier for most people.

It’s what I thought too: I do expect the ripe website search tool to first and foremost search the ripe website, notwithstanding the benefit provided by and need for a really good web interface to the ripe db. I assumed I’d missed something and stayed quiet.

I disagree. They are equally important. RIPE Database searches obviously need to be highly accessible but the site search is vital as the site is so big and old stuff is never removed. I look forward to a really good website search feature coming soon.

Wasn't there a "Your IP address is " on the old site? (Yes, there was according to archive.org) It's nice to have.

I remember that this was an issue last time that the RIPE NCC redesigned the website, please don’t repeat the mistake of prioritising website search over database search.
