When unauthenticated (or with insufficient rights) client is blocked
either because blacklisted or excessive request rate, render an error
message and a relevant HTTP status for API requests, instead of an empty
response that appears broken.
For better support of the search page usage with JavaScript disabled.
Reduces also the number of initial refreshes of the paginations links.
When JavaScript is enabled, pagination links are still regularly
refreshed until all the search feeds are terminated on server side.
When searching images, thumbnails that could not be rendered (because of
a load error such as HTTP 404, networking issue or an internal error on
the rendering servlet) are now hidden as default. But can be revealed
with a button if desired.
Fix for issue #217
Also ensure authentication is not lost by Digest timeout when navigating
between index.html and search results page.
This way, running searches with extended features on a remote peer or a
password protected peer works with a regular user (with "Extended
search" rights).
When authenticating on the search page with a user without "Extended
search" rights, it appears as authenticated, but has just its usual
access to the public search features.
This is a fix for mantis 766 ( http://mantis.tokeek.de/view.php?id=766 )
Since the upgrade to Digest authentication, access to protected search
features was indeed disabled once the Digest nonce timed out.
After Digest auth timeout the browser no more sent authentication
information and as the search results page is not private, protected
features were simply be hidden without asking browser again for
authentication.
Adding a supplementary parameter when accessing the search results as
authenticated fixes this.
Using unfiltered detailed counts (local and remote entries found before
doubles detection and before applying query modifiers) was confusing and
inconsistent with the total count. It could let think more results are
to come in the next pages, without understanding why they are not
displayed.
As a server-side oriented alternative to the JavaScript realtime
resorting feature proposed in PR #104.
The goal is the same as in this PR : having the possibility compensate
the network latency of various peers results fetching and obtain once
possible a consistently ranked result set.
Replaced by shortcuts defined by the HTML "accesskey" attribute which
has the advantage to be advertised by screen readers when focusing the
corresponding buttons, contrary to custom JavasScript key handlers.
Now With Firefox :
- "Alt + Shift + n" for next page
- "Alt + Shift + p" for previous page
Following ARIA recommendation : "keyboard shortcuts enhance, not
replace, standard keyboard access." ( see
https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-practices/#kbd_shortcuts_behavior_design)
Fix for mantis 711 (http://mantis.tokeek.de/view.php?id=711)
Added as an additional icon with title in the search progress bar, to
inform about background search feeder threads terminated or still
running. While giving a bit more information to users about the p2p
search process, this can help choosing whether or not wait a little bit
more time before going to the next page, in order to get results from
various sources sorted as best as possible (see #91 for a discussion
about sorting accuracy and network latency).
Other related modifications included :
- regular updates to statistics in the progress bar until the
background feeders are completely terminated.
- removed some uses of unsecure and discouraged JavaScript elements
Fixes issue #90 for local queries only: Stealth mode, Portal mode or
Intranet mode.
For P2p mode, the issue would probably be difficult to solve with
reasonable performance. This is still to dig.
Also switched some InterreputedException catch log messages to warn
level as this is normal behavior when shutting down a peer.
Fixed yacysearch buttons navbar behavior to deal correctly with total
results count or offset over 1000. Also improved the buttons navbar to
be able to navigate over 10th page for local queries.
- using a icon-only admin button at small and medium screen size
- using a icon-only "Search Interfaces" button at small screen size
- hiding the YaCy brand at extra-small screen size
Fixes the header part of mantis 708
(http://mantis.tokeek.de/view.php?id=708).
Navigator button overlapping is still to fix.
This pages were already no more XHTML 1.0 because made use of the HTML5
syntax and elements.
Applied current (2016) HTML standard recommended Doctype declaration
(see https://www.w3.org/TR/html/syntax.html#the-doctype ).
to support the new time parser and search functions in YaCy a high
precision detection of date and time on the day is necessary. That
requires that the time zone of the document content and the time zone of
the user, doing a search, is detected. The time zone of the search
request is done automatically using the browsers time zone offset which
is delivered to the search request automatically and invisible to the
user. The time zone for the content of web pages cannot be detected
automatically and must be an attribute of crawl starts. The advanced
crawl start now provides an input field to set the time zone in minutes
as an offset number. All parsers must get a time zone offset passed, so
this required the change of the parser java api. A lot of other changes
had been made which corrects the wrong handling of dates in YaCy which
was to add a correction based on the time zone of the server. Now no
correction is added and all dates in YaCy are UTC/GMT time zone, a
normalized time zone for all peers.
- date navigation
The date is taken from the CONTENT of the documents / web pages, NOT
from a date submitted in the context of metadata (i.e. http header or
html head form). This makes it possible to search for documents in the
future, i.e. when documents contain event descriptions for future
events.
The date is written to an index field which is now enabled by default.
All documents are scanned for contained date mentions.
To visualize the dates for a specific search results, a histogram
showing the number of documents for each day is displayed. To render
these histograms the morris.js library is used. Morris.js requires also
raphael.js which is now also integrated in YaCy.
The histogram is now also displayed in the index browser by default.
To select a specific range from a search result, the following modifiers
had been introduced:
from:<date>
to:<date>
These modifiers can be used separately (i.e. only 'from' or only 'to')
to describe an open interval or combined to have a closed interval. Both
dates are inclusive. To select a specific single date only, use the
'to:' - modifier.
The histogram shows blue and green lines; the green lines denot weekend
days (saturday and sunday).
Clicking on bars in the histogram has the following reaction:
1st click: add a from:<date> modifier for the date of the bar
2nd click: add a to:<date> modifier for the date of the bar
3rd click: remove from and date modifier and set a on:<date> for the bar
When the on:<date> modifier is used, the histogram shows an unlimited
time period. This makes it possible to click again (4th click) which is
then interpreted as a 1st click again (sets a from modifier).
The display feature is NOT switched on by default; to switch it on use
the /ConfigSearchPage_p.html servlet.
used parameter &cat=image is obsolete and returns no results
- remove &cat=image and &cat=href references
- remove &tenant= references (unused)
Use contentdom=image and inurl: parameter to make showPicture link display something (open in new window because of used inurl modifier changes original query)
force page navigation to be displayed below results in image search for any number of displayed images instead to be displayed to the right of last image.
