Search is non-functional

[mkitti]

As noted by @tpietzsch , search on the website is currently broken.

Consider jekyll resources here:
https://jekyllrb.com/resources/#search

We seem to be setup for https://www.algolia.com/doc/api-reference/widgets/vue/

This was intended to document fiji.sc's non-functional search, right? The search on imagej.net is working for me.

With fiji/fiji.github.io@c63e16e, I removed the fiji.sc search bar—at least for now.

The search on imagej.net is powered by TypeSense+InstantSearch.js, in case you were curious. See https://github.com/imagej/imagej.github.io/tree/main/_search for details. We tried various Jekyll-based search solutions, but they are all too limited for our needs. We want to index content beyond only the wiki, which the Jekyll-based search solutions would not be able to do.

I may be confused, but the imagej.net search at the top of the page is also broken for me using Chrome and Firefox on Windows.

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'parentElement')

Ahh, thanks @mkitti, that is indeed a different issue, which I have not seen. I will check later today whether I am able to reproduce. Does it happen on all pages including the front page?

[ctrueden]

@mkitti I updated imagej.net to get rid of a couple of JS console errors that I noticed. Are you still seeing a non-working search bar? I tested on macOS and on Windows in Firefox, as well as Chrome on macOS, and I cannot reproduce the error. You might need to dig into the JS code yourself on the affected machine; it's likely something you can fix or work around in search-tweaks.js.

[mkitti]

I did a quick test, and it is still not working on Chrome or Firefox on Windows from Janelia. I will do a more extensive diagnostic.

[ctrueden]

@mkitti Maybe it's something with the Janelia firewall? That beast has caused problems with the ImageJ Updater in the past.

[ctrueden]

@mkitti Is this still an issue at Janelia? Should we just close this issue? I don't know what to do about it on my side.

[mkitti]

Yes, it is.

[ctrueden]

OK. Right now, assets/js/search.js specifies search.image.sc at port 8108. It's highly likely the unusual port is the culprit. I'll try configuring that service to also operate on port 22, and switch the website here to use it from there, and we'll see whether that makes a difference.
