Suggestion: further filter the Camel search box

[Glen Mazza]

Hello,

When I do a search on the Camel home page, using the Search box in the middle of the right-side menu, I noticed it is just filtering at the ActiveMQ level (you can do a search on "logging" to see what I am talking about)--bringing me lots of ActiveMQ results not related to Camel.

I think it would be more helpful for the user, especially as the Camel site gets bigger, if the search box were further filtered to "http://activemq.apache.org/camel/" instead of just "http://activemq.apache.org".

Regards,
Glen

Agreed. Though AFAIK google search can only restrict searches to
domains, not directories unfortunately; so we'd have to wait for Camel
to go to a top level Apache project and be at camel.apache.org for us
to do that - unless anyone has any bright ideas?

That may not be true fortunately--the Google Search on my blog (http://www.jroller.com/gmazza/)
filters from the gmazza, not just "http://www.jroller.com" (the latter which otherwise would be hundreds of blogs).

I've taken a stab at implementing a Custom Search - I _think_ its
working - see what you think...

Much better, but it doesn't give the ability to run a new search at the top while paging through the search results.  (If you run a search on my blog, at the top Google gives you an entry field so you can modify your query a bit, and also search the whole web instead.)  If it is necessary to activate GoogleAds on the search results in order to have that functionality, I would go ahead and activate them...after all, Google is a heavy sponsor[1] of Apache anyway.

Hello Camel Team,

I've noticed the Google Search field on the Camel site hasn't been working lately.  It would be good if someone could fix this problem, perhaps by re-doing the Google Custom Search field functionality as shown in this thread:

Thanks,

Works fine this morning. I entered "on completion" in the search box
and only got Camel hits with 2 pages.
And it said Google custom search in the top.

Do you still see a problem?
