Overview

YaCy-UI is going to be a rich client for YaCy attempting to provide a new, more functional and easier search interface. Unlike the current server based interface YaCy-UI makes heavy use of jQuery, JavaScript, Ajax, XML and XSLT. This approach offers some neat advantages, one example could be the integration of sciencenet via opensearch. The overall idea is to integrate functionallity on a modular basis (e.g. a webshot function could be integrated by linking to another, even local web service without the need to further extend YaCy's functionallity). Currently YaCy-UI is at most alpha status, so I would be very greatful for feedback and bug reports!

Bug Tracker

• Please report bugs in the official YaCy-Forum - thanks!
• 12-05-2008: if you click a tag in the tagcloud, the bookmarks table doesn't update properly and JavaScript returns a 'tabs is undefined' error...
• 10-05-2008: there is an issue with Firefox 3.0b5 and the jQuery XML parsing of the search result (one symptom is the broken pagination)
• 19-04-2008: if you open more than one search tab in Firefox 2.x or Safari, only the first result item is shown. I would be greatful for any hint...
• 19-04-2008: resource types 'sciencenet' and 'bookmarks' doen't work yet. For 'sciencenet' we have to solve the Ajax cross domain restriction.
• 19-04-2008: currently only contentdom="text" is working, all others will fail...
• 19-04-2008: language selection is not yet supported
