modified a bunch of files in /inc and /search to comment out all references to captcha, so user no longer has to supply captcha string and page no longer searches for it. A couple of dozen files modified in all which can be identified by their modification date (2022-02-08)
Also modified a couple of files in content/annotate/ to disable the form for submitting annotations to prevent it being abused when captcha disabled. I removed large whacks of the page rather than commented them out.
Martin Holmes and Joey Takeda have released the latest production version of their staticSearch tool, one of the key products from Project Endings. This version adds several new features and improvements. See the release notes and full documentation.
