No search suggest drop-down list in a website using Vector 2022
Closed, DeclinedPublicBUG REPORT

Description

Steps to replicate the issue:

  • go to this Search page of an external wiki (not Wikimedia) which is using Vector 2022
  • at the top, fill the new search form, for exemple writing т
  • then, under "поиск" ("Search") fill the old search form writing т

What happens?:

  • in the new search form no suggestions appear
  • in the old search form (the second one in the page) the search suggest drop-down list appears as expected.

What should have happened instead?:

  • in both the forms when filled a search suggest drop-down list should appear

Other information:
(reported from Mediawiki, more details in the talk)
user configuration: Firefox 110.0, macOS High Sierra, 1280×800 screen resolution

I can reproduce it with Chrome Version 110.0 (64 bits) and Firefox version 110 (64 bits), Windows 10 Home, screen resolution 2560x1440

Event Timeline

@Patafisik: See the network tab of your web browser's developer tools:
Upper new search form triggers https://jantanoo.info/rest.php/v1/search/title?q=%D1%82&limit=10 which is a 404 error - https://jantanoo.info/rest.php is a 404.
Lower old search form triggers https://jantanoo.info/api.php?action=opensearch&format=json&formatversion=2&search=%D1%82&namespace=0&limit=10
This looks like a misconfiguration to me but not like a software bug.

Thanks for your message @Aklapper. I think we could take next steps within the Web team nevertheless. Patafisik is our ambassador, and making progress with this may legitimately be beyond her expertise.

@sgrabarczuk: Hej hej,I'm aware (though this task was created from a personal account and not in @Patafisik_WMF capacity). :)
My point was more about sharing how to debug such things for anyone interested.

@Aklapper that's a good point. As I have improved my performance on Phabricator and I'm opening tasks I will begin to differentiate the use of my two accounts.

Looks like the website is misconfigured and there's little we can do unless the developer reaches out to us.
