Sugestões de Pesquisa do DuckDuckGo

Solves Is there a way to suggest DuckDuckGo instead of Google for failed search UI?.

A Discourse theme component to use DuckDuckGo as the suggested search system, instead of Google!

p.s. You’ll probably want to customize some of the text strings to stop mentioning Google, too.

Here’s what I’ve noted to be the places to alter the text:

  • js.search.or_search_google
  • js.search.search_google
  • js.search.search_google_button
  • page_not_found.search_google
    • is that search also adjusted to DDG in the theme? If not, that should be fixed too
  • js.google_search
    • that looks like it’s editable to put in DDG directly, not sure how that’s related

Is that it?

Okay, I’m writing this down, because 404 handling in Discourse is weird. Try this link on for size:

https://meta.discourse.org/nonexistant-page

If you open it in a new tab, you’ll notice that your user menu (the one in the upper-right of the page) doesn’t render. In fact, the Discourse Ember app doesn’t get loaded at all in this case. It’s being rendered by the Rails server following app/views/exceptions/not_found.html.erb

Obviously, if you click the link directly in this page, the Ember app remains resident. Try hitting the link with a .json at the end, and instead of sending the app a full 404 page, it sends an HTML fragment, with the heading and stuff removed, which the Ember app just plops into place.

Oh weird. But if that’s less trivial to fix, at least it can be documented and the easier parts all fixed. Thanks for working on this!

Added a commit to do the form rewriting to make the 404 page work, both within and without the Ember app.

Great! So the only remaining thing is to document (probably both here and at the repo README) the confirmed list of text items theme-users will need to customize in the admin UI?

I got this working, but it’s a little strange to have the page-not-found version start with the form using site:xxx… with no search term alongside that. Maybe that’s as good as it gets, but it would be ideal if it were feasible to get the text of the URL after the TLD for the not-found page and use that as the default search before the site: part…

Given

Google is no longer used at 404 pages. So, this theme probably needs updating to leave 404 pages alone, let them be the regular internal search as is now standard.

Discourse is still using Google for extra searching when internal searches fail though. So, for that, this DDG option still applies.

It wasn’t actually breaking anything, but I did go ahead and revert it. It also made the code simpler, since I can just replace the template again.

is there any reason Google is still the default for Discourse when extra searching occurs? DuckDuckGo is more in tune with the mindset of Discourse than Google is.

Eu concordo, existe alguma solução alternativa no momento?

Poderia ser usado com o Discourse AI também :slight_smile:

Este componente de tema é a solução alternativa.

Eu não tinha visto este tópico e não sabia sobre o componente de tema, então me livrei completamente da coisa da pesquisa do Google… Estou relutante em adicionar mais um componente de tema não oficial agora. Seria bom se o padrão fosse DuckDuckGo ou se houvesse uma configuração do site.

…que permitisse alterar o provedor, ou remover completamente essa sugestão de pesquisa de fallback.

Enquanto isso, como você “removeu completamente a coisa da pesquisa”? Presumivelmente, você criou um componente de tema, mas pode compartilhar o código real aqui (para que eu não precise descobrir isso sozinho)?

Eu fiz um fork e mudei a URL. O padrão geral deve ser deixá-lo vazio e permitir que o usuário o altere.

É assim que o marketing funciona profundamente, através da engenharia social nos níveis mais refinados.

Fiz um push de uma atualização para usar um plugin outlet, mas isso precisa que o outlet seja adicionado ao próprio Discourse.
