Description:
If you search on e.g. author on the front page, you get the simple search page with the error:

• You need to specify something for at least one field!

Solution:

The search configuration has been changed to a new format to incorporate full text search. The front page search must be changed to the new format that matches the simple page search. Now, the front page search uses:

• “abstract/addtitle/engabstract/keywords/title”
• “authors/editors/leaders”

This should (probably) be changed to:

• keywords or full (depending on whether we want full text search on the front page - I am not sure …)
• person

in accordance with the simple page search string:

 keywords=&keywords_merge=ALL&full=&full_merge=ALL&person=&person_merge=ALL&year=&old=&old_merge=ALL&_satisfyall=ALL&_order=byname&_action_search=Search

The wiki help text on searches should also be updated to reflect this simpler search format!

Furthermore, the headlines on the simple search page could maybe be simplified to

• keywords
• keywords + full text
• person
• year

with some explanation similar to the present headlines in the help text below.

Finally the “old” search line should be removed. It is superfluous and was only kept in to accommodate external search links who used this format. Now this format does not work anymore and it can therefore be removed.

Solved

Corrected index.xpage en and de + removed old search line in Archive Config?.pm.
Did not change headlines in simple search page, since these are auto generated.
