> It would be good to have a search box on the Jena website.
> With Google users can use "site:" to restrict a query to a specific website,
> for example: "something site:incubator.apache.org/jena".
> However, this is limited to a single website, you cannot use site: more than
> once.
> We could make this easier for people having:
> {code:java}
> <form action="http://www.google.com/search"; method="get">
> <input value="incubator.apache.org/jena" name="sitesearch" type="hidden"/>
> <input size="20" name="q" id="query" type="text" value="..."
> onclick="if(this.value == '...')
> {this.value = ''}
> "/>
> <input name="Search" value="Search" type="submit"/>
> </form>{code}
> Another option (IMHO more interesting) is to use Google Customised Search:
> [http://www.google.com/cse/]
> For example:
> [http://www.google.co.uk/cse/home?cx=009507611290970701536:-nmuokitb-0]
> You can then configure the websites you want to be used for a search, in this
> case (for example):
> [http://incubator.apache.org/jena/*]
> [http://openjena.org/*]
> [http://markmail.org/*]
> [http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/jena/Experimental/*]
> [http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/jena/Scratch/*]
> [http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/jena/Jena2/*]
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JENA-*
> ...
> You can have this on your website:
> {code:java}
> <div id="cse" style="width: 100%;">Loading</div>
> <script src="http://www.google.co.uk/jsapi"; type="text/javascript"></script>
> <script type="text/javascript">
> google.load('search', '1',
> {language : 'en'}
> );
> google.setOnLoadCallback(function()
> { var customSearchControl = new google.search.CustomSearchControl(
> '009507611290970701536:-nmuokitb-0');
> customSearchControl.setResultSetSize(google.search.Search.FILTERED_CSE_RESULTSET);
> customSearchControl.draw('cse'); }
> , true);
> </script>
> <link rel="stylesheet"
> href="http://www.google.com/cse/style/look/default.css"; type="text/css"
> />{code}
> Some useful (old!) quotes from Jakob Nielsen on "search":
> "Search is an important part of any big website. When users want to search,
> they typically scan the homepage looking for "the little box where I can
> type," so your search should be a box. [Make your search box at least 25
> characters wide,] so it can accommodate multiple words without obscuring
> parts of the user's query.
> (Update: Based on more recent findings, my recommendation is now to make the
> search box 27 characters wide. This and other new guidelines are covered in
> my tutorial on Fundamental Guidelines for Web Usability at the annual
> Usability Week conference.)"
> – [http://www.useit.com/alertbox/20020512.html] (2002)
> "This is a small point, but there's no reason to label the search box if
> there's a "Search" button right next to it. Interaction design's less is more
> principle tells us that extra elements in a dialogue distract users from the
> salient points and reduce their ability to understand an interface."
> – [http://www.useit.com/alertbox/20031110.html] (2003)
> Jakob Nielsen put the search box on to bottom right corner on his website. I
> find that a good choice, but I am not sure it fits in the current layout.
> If that is not possible, having the search box elsewhere IMHO is better than
> not having it.
