More work on the contents/search page
Posted by mholmes on 20 Sep 2007 in Activity log
Got the framework of the XQuery done, with search filters such as volume, issue, author, keyword etc. working. Still have to get the search system working, with useful match returns -- should the XQuery do the KWIC construction, or the XSLT? -- and I also need to get ordering working.
The plan to merge TOC and Search is a good one, though. We could actually put the search form on every page, if we want. Right now, the TOC/search is handling only texts in the /texts/ subcollection, but if the rest of the site content is to be stored in the db too -- which I think it should -- then we ought to allow an option to sort that material as well. That should perhaps be a switch, but I'm not sure yet how best to implement it.
