I noticed that the opensuse package search applet has disappeared from my Firefox. I don't remember if we commented about this? :-?
What applet?
maybe applet is not the right name. It runs in the "search bar" of Firefox, and is called apparently "One-click Search engine", and is configured in "about:preferences#search". Normally you would search for new ones here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search/?category=search-tools&sort=recommended%2Cusers&type=extension But I find nothing "opensuse". Maybe it came preinstalled in our rpm and is not "published".
But there is an https://search.opensuse.org/ link. By default it searches using Google (can be changed), but clicking on "packages" it goes to:
https://search.opensuse.org/packages/
However, it I type a package name, Firefox issues this warning:
The information you have entered on this page will be sent over an insecure connection and could be read by a third party.
Are you sure you want to send this information?
So part of the page is not using https.
Correct, e.g.: ==== <a title="Screenshot of grub-customizer" rel="lightbox" href="http://software.opensuse.org/package/screenshot/grub-customizer.png"> <img class="img-fluid" src="http://software.opensuse.org/package/thumbnail/grub-customizer.png" alt="grub-customizer" /> ====
I'd consider this bugzilla-worthy.
Me too, but I don't know where to place it. Product: openSUSE Backports: openSUSE:Backports project in build.opensuse.org openSUSE Distribution: openSUSE Leap & Stable releases openSUSE Tumbleweed: openSUSE Rolling Release openSUSE.org: The openSUSE project (not the distribution) If I select the last one, I get: 3rd party software Bugzilla BuildService Documentation System Imaging Wiki None fits. Nothing in https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Submitting_bug_reports So I type "problems" in the search box. I see: https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Support Nothing applies. If I look at https://search.opensuse.org/ there is no "contact us" link. There was a page in the wiki that listed different places where to report each type of problem. Where is it? Why is it so difficult to find? Google. "how to report a problem with opensuse web page" Nothing. Ok, found it, cheating: I typed "admin" after seeing the message from Per (which was what I was thinking to do, but). Found in the first 20 results: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Communication_channels Under "Contact Info" it says: To report a problem with this site or openSUSE infrastructure, contact admin@opensuse.org. Please note, this is not a tech support email address. Use one of the options shown above if you need tech support. Man, this is hard to find... And I fear to be sent to github, as happened to David Ranking recently. So I wanted to find a page that says where exactly to report problems with each webpage. Ok, I'll try admin@o.o Done. https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/70180
And it fails to find "grub-customizer", which is here:
https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home%3Aecsos&package=grub-customizer
There's a searchplugin (or I added it with [1]) and also you can set a bookmark with this "URI":
==== javascript:q=prompt('Enter%20text%20to%20search%20software.opensuse.org','');if(q){q=q.replace(/_/g,%22%20%22);location.href='https://software.opensuse.org/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&baseproject=ALL&q='+encodeURIComponent(q);}else{location.href='https://software.opensuse.org/search';} ====
Change the 'baseproject=ALL' to your liking. This so called bookmarklet (and many others, e.g. for Wikipedia) work like a charm.
Yes, I remember you commented about those past month :-)
[1] Add custom search engine 2.0, see https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/add-custom-search-engine/
