Fix default "Help" button link in search panel #3140

Closed chaoran-chen closed 2 weeks ago

The search panel has a "Help" button on top:

This links to /docs/how-to/search-sequences-website which has content on Pathoplexus (see here) but not in the base Loculus, so it should be configurable ~and be hidden by default~.

Or one could add some basic search instructions there

/docs/how-to/search-sequences-website would be a strange URL though for Loculus. Instead, one could by default link to docs.loculus.org and make it configurable.

theosanderson commented 3 weeks ago

It doesn't seem a crazy URL to me :)

chaoran-chen commented 3 weeks ago

There wouldn't be anything at /docs or /docs/how-to and the Docs button in the footer points to docs.loculus.org, so to me, it seems much more natural to direct to docs.loculus.org again. The alternative would be that we move the entire user docs from docs.loculus.org to the platform but that would be a major change.

Cool, it's not something I feel strongly about – it just seemed an easy fix. It's kind of useful to have some pages in Loculus to be able to test the docs features but we don't have to have them linked to.
