Overview

YaCy-UI is going to be a JavaScript based client for YaCy based on the existing XML and JSON API. YaCy-UI is at most alpha status, as there is still problems with retriving the search results. I am currently changing the backend to a more application friendly format and getting good results with it (I will check that in some time after the stable release 0.7). For now have a look at the bookmarks, performance has increased significantly, due to the use of JSON and Flexigrid!

Bug Tracker

• Please report bugs in the official YaCy-Forum - thanks!
• 29-09-2008: There seems to be timing problems with the RSS search result. In some cases no result is shown at all, even after a page reload!
• 29-09-2008: Bookmarks may crash if you create folders like /news and /newspaper with the same beginning! This is a bug in the folder recursion!
• 15-09-2008: there seems to be a bug with the German translation: the link yacyui-bookmarks.html gets translated into yacyui-Lesezeichen.html :-(
• 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
