[Wikitech-l] Re: New Codesearch interface in beta testing

Hi, Over two years ago[1] I worked on redesigning the Codesearch UI to make it easier to browse and filter. It didn't go anywhere for various reasons[2], but in June Krinkle picked it up again and I've now deployed his rewrite[3], please try it out: https://codesearch-beta.wmcloud.org/ You can insert "-beta" into the URL of any normal codesearch result and it should just work. Here's an overview of the changes: * Switching backends keeps the search query * Sidebar for easy skipping of many results from one repo * Implement fuzzysort and typeahead autocompletion for the repo selector dropdown * Generate a report in the format of a Phabricator checklist * Add search query to the document title (browser tab) * Implement a pulsating "placeholder" state * Optimise fetching of "repos" config data by caching this server-side * Fix advanced options being hidden by adblockers And there's more, you can read Krinkle's commit message[3] for the full list and links to tasks. Please report bugs you find in the Codesearch Phabricator project[4] (or submit a patch!). If all goes well I'd like to switch over the main domain to the new interface near the end of the year.
