I’ve added search to a website I’m working on using the  
search\_behavior plugin, and everything is working fine. I noticed on  
the [ruby-lang.org](http://ruby-lang.org) site that the search there is a lot nicer though. It  
includes a bit of content from each page it finds with the search  
phrase highlighted. I think it’s also excluding some pages (I couldn’t  
get it to list the “page missing” page in its results). Is anyone here  
familiar with how that page on [ruby-lang.org](http://ruby-lang.org) works? Is it still using  
search\_behavior? Is it possible to get the search\_behavior in the  
radiant subversion repository working like that?

Thanks,  
Wes Bangerter

Ruby-Lang is using a modified version of Oliver B.'s search  
behavior:

[http://rubyidentity.org/ruby-lang.org/browser/ruby-lang.org/trunk/www/vendor/plugins/search\_behavior/](http://rubyidentity.org/ruby-lang.org/browser/ruby-lang.org/trunk/www/vendor/plugins/search_behavior/)

Here’s the code that makes it work:

\<r:search\>  
\<r:if\_query\>  
\<r:empty\>

No matches.

  
\</r:empty\>

```
 <r:results:each>
   <h3><r:link><r:excerpt><r:title/></r:excerpt></r:link></h3>
   <p><r:excerpt radius="200"><r:content /></r:excerpt></p>
 </r:results:each>

 <hr class="hidden" />

 <form id="search-again-form" action="<r:url />" method="get">
   <p><r:input /> <input type="submit" value="Search Again" /></p>
 </form>

```

\</r:if\_query\>  
\<r:unless\_query\>

\<r:input /\>

  
  
\</r:unless\_query\>  
\</r:search\>

the modifications look very useful. thanks for posting the link.  
I can browse the code but I can’t get at the plugin, though: script/  
plugin throws a 500 error and SVN does this:

$ svn co [http://rubyidentity.org/ruby-lang.org/browser/ruby-lang.org/](http://rubyidentity.org/ruby-lang.org/browser/ruby-lang.org/)  
trunk/www/vendor/plugins/search\_behavior/  
svn: PROPFIND request failed on ‘/ruby-lang.org/browser/ruby-lang.org/  
trunk/www/vendor/plugins/search\_behavior’  
svn: PROPFIND of ‘/ruby-lang.org/browser/ruby-lang.org/trunk/www/  
vendor/plugins/search\_behavior’: 501 Unsupported method (‘PROPFIND’)  
([http://rubyidentity.org](http://rubyidentity.org))

is there a glitch or am I just doing something wrong?

thanks,

will

You are using the path for the Trac browser. For svn, try this one:

[http://rubyidentity.org/svn/ruby-lang/ruby-lang.org/trunk/www/vendor/plugins/search\_behavior/](http://rubyidentity.org/svn/ruby-lang/ruby-lang.org/trunk/www/vendor/plugins/search_behavior/)
