----------------------------------------
Hi Alex:
bq. Do you mean something like "disable Search button until provider is
selected"? Looks not very user-friendly to me.
No. There's more than one UI way to force a user to make a selection. One way
would be to just make one of the items in the select box selected by default
and let the user explicitly decide to choose the other one. We could make the
"selected" attribute the thing that is random.
bq. 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).
Yeah like I said above I think what you're saying here is one of the options to
make this happen. Also see my comments back to Jukka. I don't feel really
strongly about the *how* UI-wise this gets accomplished, but I do feel strongly
about making magic defaults last for a year.
Cheers,
Chris

> 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."
