Search box in specs.frictionlessdata.io not working (as I expected)

[cpina]

Steps to reproduce:
-Open https://specs.frictionlessdata.io/#overview
-In the search box type "zip" and press enter

Expected:
-List of pages with the term "zip" or a "no pages contain the term zip"

Actual:
-Nothing happens :-(

After doing this I realised that if I type "a" (or a single letter) it shows the list of headers. Or if I type "adding" it shows the headers having "adding" in the title. But this is not what I expected initially obviously.

BTW, if a requirement for simplicity is a client side full text search I'm sure that there are different solutions (I'm not familiar with them). The only example that comes to my mind: in https://nlnet.nl/ they use "Zero-leak Search" for searching, client side. E.g. https://nlnet.nl/search/static.html?q=zip&submit=Search#zeroleak , they use: http://searsia.org/

Similar story. Looking for the documentation of validate_table on https://frictionlessdata.io/: I paste that string into the search box, and there is no response.

• Ideally, it would locate the docs for the function.
• Short of that, it should indicate that there are no matches for the search.

@cpina Thanks! The first example "zip" currently show results, probably fixed since you wrote the issue (almost two years!). But I agree that it would be better to display a message like "not found" when there are no results. I also agree that a minimum number of characters to be typed before searching is a nice feature.

@mccalluc Currently the Frictionless framework documentation is at https://framework.frictionlessdata.io/ where the search has improved a lot since your reported this issue.

Thanks @aivuk!

I've created an issue for it - frictionlessdata/frictionlessdata.io#880

Closing this one as resolved
