11 years ago Cool, did you do something on this and add "Contributors" in the sidebar? Just wondering since on some pages there are now 2 lists, one for usernames which match and one for users who've posted related material: http://publiclab.org/search/workshop

11 years ago No, I haven't touched this since making the ticket.
The sidebar would be a different thing. When you say "one for usernames which match", do you mean the searchbar returns that or the sidebar shows it? On Jun 17, 2013 9:04 AM, "Jeffrey Warren" notifications@github.com wrote:

11 years ago Oh, yeah that isn't obvious at all. There is nothing visually connecting the search bar to any component besides the autocomplete drop down.
Also running a proper search on the search page renders results in page center. There's no reason to look at sidebars or anywhere else on the search results page.
Maybe flash the sidebar when it updates to draw the user's attention, or simply return users with nodes as per this ticket. On Jun 17, 2013 2:26 PM, "Jeffrey Warren" notifications@github.com wrote:

11 years ago well, it only runs on proper search page as linked above (/search/foo), not on the autocomplete search (that just mixes all result types together).
I think there ought to be a top area that shows search results by type, in tabs, so the default might be "Research notes" and other tabs might show "Wiki pages" "Users" etc with counts "Users (13)".
The advanced search mixes all together, no? I don't remember.
If we restructure search results in this way, what do we do with the sidebar? Would it be empty, or show recent tags related to the search, or what? Because currently it shows wiki pages, users, and other non-note search results.

11 years ago huh, maybe it broke? It has returned users for a couple months at least. No, i enter "btb" and i see you in autocomplete. Doesn't that work for you?

11 years ago To be specific, I was trying to find my profile on the new site.
I typed "bonval" and "btbonval" in the universal search bar but did not get a hit on my profile. I then submitted to the search page and also returned no results. The advanced search broke down the types of nodes, but "users" (specifically, user profiles) was not an option.
Might be able to search by author, but that will still only return nodes by that author, not the author's profile. On Jun 17, 2013 2:36 PM, "Jeffrey Warren" notifications@github.com wrote:

11 years ago ah, but that quickly links you to the profile page too, no? We had also discussed simply merging the profile page with the notes-for-this-author page, perhaps again in tabs, since it's not clear which people are looking for and we might as well make the easy to switch between. Or profile could take up the first 250px of space, with recent notes falling below.

11 years ago I see how it works now. I have to click "btbonval" in "Research by btbonval" to visit my profile page.
It's a two click procedure to get to my profile page, with the second step being fairly unobvious. But you're right, it is possible.

11 years ago Doesn't the user profile contain all notes and so forth that the user has authored? If so, why go to this search page instead of simply loading up the user's profile page?

11 years ago I does not - the "notes for this author" page does -- that's why we have proposed merging the pages, then we can simply load up the profile, as you say.

11 years ago Got it. I guess this ticket is my way of voting for a merge. I couldn't find any ticket referring to such a merge. Is this something being decided by other folks? If not, I'll close this ticket and start a new one marking the desire to merge notes-by-author into the author's profile. If so, I'll close this ticket anyway ;)

11 years ago Looks like nobody was opposed, while yourself and Chris both commented affirmatively for the feature. I'll make a ticket.
I was trying to find my user page with the search bar, but users are not searched. It shouldn't be too hard to add user pages to the search results.
