Agreed -- the "Matched repositories" sidebar alone will save me A LOT of scrolling / frustration. Thank you!

Best, Isaac

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.

Great work, thank you, both! The speed upgrade, the new sidebar, the more manageable repo list, and Phabricator export all fix big pain points. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list -- wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe send an email to wikitech-l-leave@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/postorius/lists/wikitech-l.lists.wikimedia.org/
