searchform only for mimetype text/wiki

It was annoying for me that a quick search over the searchform always displayed a lot of attachments (images, word docs, etc.)

So I found a quick and maybe ugly solutions.

System Info:

Version

1.7.1

Theme

ThemeMarket/SimpleMente

Search

Xapian Search enabled

Example

http://rock.heavy.ch

Changes

Theme

I added to the function searchform a html checkbox, where it's possible to submit a mimetype (=text/wiki). In my case this is the default

 <input id="searchmimetype" type="checkbox" checked="checked" name="mimetype" value="text/wiki">  

for your information here is my new searchform; but be aware this is used for my heavy customized theme (original a SimpleMente).

    def searchform(self, d):
        """ assemble HTML code for the search forms

        Changed: linebreak added for simplerock. Searchbox formatting now done by
                 css
        
        @param d: parameter dictionary
        @rtype: unicode
        @return: search form html
        """
        _ = self.request.getText
        form = self.request.form
        updates = {
            'search_label': _('Search:'),
            'search_alt': _('Search'),
            'search_titles_alt': _('Search Titles'),
            'search_full_alt': _('Search Full Text'),
            'search_value': wikiutil.escape(form.get('value', [''])[0], 1),
            'search_full_label': _('Text', formatted=False),
            'search_title_label': _('Titles', formatted=False),
            'search_mimetype_label': _('only pages', formatted=False),
            }
        d.update(updates)

        html = u'''

        return html

Action

I needed also to change the fullsearch.py

Mainly I add “mimetype:major/minor” to the needle string (like advancedsearch). Here is my diff

Result

• Everything: fullsearch_everything.png

• Only Wiki Pages: fullsearch_only_wikipages.png

Futures

Maybe somebody with a better python knowledge could create a better solution... don't know... just want to share my “experience”.
