Search across all mailing lists on mailing lists page?

Hi, I'm subscribed in about 10+ mailing lists. When looking for something the first thing that comes tomy mind is to look at the link "Mailing Lists" at OOo homepage. Is it possible to add the form to search across all mailing lists on OOo? It is possible via Advanced Search so it should be pretty easy to add the query form directly to http://www.openoffice.org/mail_list.html?
sounds interesting. Scott, would you be inerested in creating such a form? louis
Yes, I should be able to get this together tonight.
The advanced search page is a Servlet from Source Cast. It appears that it uses some internal search to search through the Mailing Lists. Do you want me to modify the mailing_list.html page to have the query tools? I don't believe I have access to that page. I can't point Google to a specific directory for this that I know of. Let me know what direction you would like me to take.
It is a servlet, but you can reuse his HTML output and automatically "mark" (by using hidden input type field) searching in mailing lists. This is a minimal HTML you need to add to mail_list.html (if it is corrupted, I will attach it): <form action="http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/Search" method="get"> <input type="hidden" name="mode" value="advanced"> <input type="hidden" name="resultsPerPage" value="40"> <input type="text" name="query" value="" size="25" maxlength=""> <input type="hidden" name="scope" value="domain"> <input type="hidden" name="artifact" value="eyebrowse ALL"> <input type="submit" name="Button" value="Search"> </form>
Scott, Louis? Is the HTML code OK?
Pavel, sorry, I've been digging through issues and vacation... Scott, shall we try this out? thanks louis
Created attachment 12850 [details] mail_list.html
Scott? Louis, could you please takeover this issue?
OK, kcarr seems to not be available -> reassigning to the owner of the selected subcomponent.
Sorry, didn't realize there was an update on this issue. I'll take care of this tonight. Scott
Created attachment 13917 [details] Updated HTML that includes search function
I attached the Search Code to the top of the mail_list. That way people will see it by default. Any other suggestions? The form went in without a hitch, and appears to work pretty good. Louis, Could you update the mail-list file on the site if this meets everyones approval?
hi scott, yes; but everyone: approval? louis
i did a few tests. not bad ;) louis
Seems to work OK for me.
Scott, approved :-)
Scott?
