I have been following this guide to add search to radiant.
http://wiki.radiantcms.org/Using_the_Search_Extension
I would like to add search globally - not only on a specific search
page. And to do that I have to apply the “search_extension.diff” patch,
but when I run it it says:
[chainrea@belong radapp]$ patch -p0 < search_extension.diff
patching file vendor/extensions/search/test/unit/search_page_test.rb
patching file vendor/extensions/search/test/unit/search_tags_test.rb
patching file
vendor/extensions/search/test/functional/search_extension_test.rb
patching file vendor/extensions/search/test/fixtures/pages.yml
patching file vendor/extensions/search/test/fixtures/page_parts.yml
patching file vendor/extensions/search/app/models/search_page.rb
Hunk #2 succeeded at 72 (offset 8 lines).
patching file vendor/extensions/search/app/models/search_tags.rb
patching file vendor/extensions/search/search_extension.rb
Hunk #1 FAILED at 9.
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED – saving rejects to file
vendor/extensions/search/search_extension.rb.rej
I kind of hoped it did not matter, but when i add the search tag on a
page it displays:
undefined tag `search’
(I also ran “rake production db:migrate:extensions” after the patch was
applied)
Now suddenly it is even more broken - it now says:
undefined tag `form’
I then deleted the search extension folder.
Re-unpacked the tar.gz file - renamed the folder to search and ran rake,
but it still says:
undefined tag `form’

Okay now the basic search is working again. It seems some time has to
pass before it kind of resets.
But I would still like global search and live search, what seems to be
the issue with the “search_extension.diff” patch?

The newest Search Extension code is in GitHub:
However, it removes the live search functionality. You might want to use
the download link and try it out anyways, because it should accomplish
your other goals.

Also, here are my notes on using an older version of the Search
Extension. This might be helpful to you.
$ cd PATH/TO/PROJECT
$ svn export
http://svn.radiantcms.org/radiant/tags/rel_0-6-6/extensions/search
vendor/extensions/search
Add a new tag to
/PATH/TO/PROJECT/vendor/extensions/search/app/models/search_page.rb
2008-05-21 DP added new tag to check if a search has been submitted
desc %{ Checks if a query was passed to the browser.}
tag ‘search:if_submitted’ do |tag|
unless @query == “”
tag.expand
end
end
Be sure to set the Page Type to “Search” or else loading the page will
fail with an error about a missing tag.
The following is a good default Search page…
<r:search:form label=“Search for:”/>
Searching '' returned no results.
Searching '' returned:
You can prevent pages from being returned by adding a ‘no-search’
page-part to them.
The above tag <r:unless_content part=“no-search”> is used to hide all
pages with a page-part of ‘no-search’ in the search results. This can
result in searches that return “Your search for ‘X’ returned the
following pages:†with no results below, but its better than showing
hidden pages.
