We now tear down the web view when we close the find floater. This
means that we don't show the previous search results when performing a
new search. It also makes for more efficient use of resources as we
don't have a web view continually running in the background. (This is
how the Help Browser currently works too.)
Displays the search floater and performs a search. You can specify an
optional category and an optional search string. See the wiki docs for
usage details: https://wiki.lindenlab.com/wiki/Viewer_2.0_SLapps
When a new search is performed, we first display a blank page in the
search floater so that the previous results are not visible while the
new results are being retrieved from the search server.
Search and the Home sidetray now have their own specific
authentication keys that they support from login.cgi, but they
fallback to a common key as follows:
Search: "search_token", fallback to "auth_token"
Home: "home_sidetray_token", fallback to "auth_token"
The search URL is now specified in app_settings/settings.xml (instead
of in floater_search.xml), and it is now defined more flexibly with
support for various substitution strings, such as [QUERY], [AUTH_KEY],
[MATURITY], [GODLIKE], etc.
I pulled the common substitution code out into a new static method,
LLWeb::expandURLSubstitutions(). This provides support for common
strings like [VERSION], [CHANNEL], [LANGUAGE], [OS], etc. The Help and
Home sidetray code has been updated to use this new function, to avoid
replicating this behavior 3 times.
I also cleaned up the app_settings/settings.xml file and removed the
old search keys of: SearchURLDefault, SearchURLQuery, and
SearchURLSuffix2.
If you change your god level from when you performed a search, the
search results may be inappropriate for your god level (we pass the
current god status to the search web pages). When this is the case, we
now display a warning at the bottom of the search floater to let the
user know that they should redo their search.
Added Back, Forward, and Home buttons to the web view for the Home
side panel. Still more work to do here, but the basic functionality
is there; albeit hardcoded to secondlife.com.
I notice that you can click Back on the first page. Seems to be an
issue for the general media browser too. I'll file a JIRA for that.
The Search URL now includes a "r=" query parameter to specify the
user's preferred maturity rating. This can be "pg" or "pg,mature"
or "pg,mature,adult".
pass this token through to the search web pages via a q= query
parameter in the search URL. This will let the search facility
determine the user's maturity and teen settings.
I also now escape the search string that the user typed in, 'cos they
could type anything.
Thanks to Mani for showing me how to get responses from login.cgi.
URL that we send to the Search web page. This can be used to determine
the maturity levels to display. These bools are passed as query params
in the URL (as agreed upon with the search team).
You can now specify a search category for all web-based searches,
e.g., "all" (default), "people", "places", "events", "groups", "wiki",
"destinations", "classifieds". Specifying a category will add the
relevant subdir to the search URL, as specified by the search team.
This new Search floater replaces the current XUI-based search
interface with one that is implemented entirely as a web service.
This is currently pointing toward a temporary search URL. The URL will
be updated when the stable version is available.
