Alex Baranau commented on TIKA-488:
-----------------------------------
Chris,
Do you mean something like "disable Search button until provider is selected"?
Looks not very user-friendly to me. It might makes sense to select some option
from the list when user opens page for the first time (instead of doing it in
case user didn't change default "select provider" choice after he presses the
Search button). But *imo* when we show user "select provider" message
explicitly, we better "advertise" multiple options he has (so that user can
note that he has a choice easier).
Thoughts?

> Add alternative search provider on site
> ---------------------------------------

> Key: TIKA-488
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-488
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: documentation
> Reporter: Alex Baranau
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: adding_alternative_search_provider.patch
>
>
> Add additional search provider (to existed Lucid Find) search-lucene.com.
> Initiated in discussion: http://www.search-lucene.com/m/uTJxE2kcRv1
> Requirements (copied from discussion):
> Jukka Zitting: "Ideally the search box would allow the user to choose which
> provider
> to use. Something like a cookie that remembers the user's selection
> would be nice. If the user doesn't make an explicit selection of the
> provider, then one should be selected randomly for the first search
> and remembered afterwards for consistency.
> It would be great if the required logic was implemented on the client
> side using javascript, as otherwise we'd need to start messing up with
> CGI scripts, etc."
