It seems search feature is broken, any attempt (changing kewyord, browser, computer, IP, country) ends in a Google Sorry page saying "your computer or network may be sending automated queries. To protect our users, we can't process your request right now" and linking http://www.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=86640 for more info ## Steps to reproduce ## * go to library.gnome.org * type something in search * hit Return
I see this too.

I'll try to get more info
So it seems that search interface has been deprecated for a while (and instead of saying it, people are now blocked in a generic way from using it). Currently supported method is to create a Custom Search engine at http://www.google.com/cse/
Ah, thanks! I was about to create a CSE, but wondering: should the CSE be specific per domain or not (e.g. one for dgo, another for lgo)?
Impossible to search for anything on d.g.o => Blocks development.
Pascal, (or anyone with a Google account); could you get the required html bits? (I'll then integrate them properly in library-web).
The problem is that generated code only contains a CSE id, and the control of it will be associated to the account creating it, so it would be better to have it managed by a "GNOME owned" account. Also, the owner of it can request to get money from ads displayed with search results.
Full doc on https://developers.google.com/custom-search/docs/element Results can now be displayed inside the page, or to another page of the site. I think the best would be to create a search page on the site and have the form send there. Then on that page, include the js + add the results element and tell it the parameter from the url to use as a search query (default is q). The js for the <head>: <script> (function() { var cx = '123:456'; // Insert your own Custom Search engine ID here var gcse = document.createElement('script'); gcse.type = 'text/javascript'; gcse.async = true; gcse.src = (document.location.protocol == 'https' ? 'https:' : 'http:') + '//www.google.com/cse/cse.js?cx=' + cx; var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(gcse, s); })(); </script> The search results: <gcse:searchresults-only queryParameterName="query"></gcse:searchresults-only>
Thanks. Do note this is now done with Pascal Terjan google account but it can be extended if want more administrators. commit 4629064e2a804fc529f6419f802c39ad8612afc9 Author: Frédéric Péters <fpeters@0d.be> Date: Sun Aug 12 15:54:57 2012 +0200 switch site search to use google custom search engine (GNOME bug 655704) With the help of Pascal Terjan; thanks.
