A ResourceLoader dependency had changed in MW 1.21. This got fixed. It is already available on test system. Can be deployed to productive if fix is confirmed.

There are still several bugs in the autocomplete extension (or maybe new bugs):

1) It doesn't always come up with results, even when there are known pages that the keyword should match (this varies by use, not by keyword). See attachment.

2) Not all results are found for all topics, or even within the same topic; for example, searching for "font" turns up 1 entry for Canvas, several entries for CSS (but not "properties/font-size"), and no entry for "html/elements/font". See attachment.

3) The list of entries is not keyboard-navigable (up/down arrows, enter), which means it's not accessible.

4) The entries should not list the URL, just the page title, e.g. "properties/font-size" should be "font-size" (or maybe "font-size (properties)")

5) The colors for the headings should alternate by subject (the order doesn't matter, but there should be different colors to match the logo colors)

This seems less usable than the previous version. I'm not sure what happened. This is not ready to deploy.

Missing results

Many result pages are missing.
Comment 5 Robert Vogel 2013-01-10 07:54:40 UTC 
The search API module does only a title search by querying the DB. It automatically limits the number of results for each "category" (CANVAS, CSS, ...) to 5 entries. This is to avoid very long result lists. Maybe we have to rework this logic.
Comment 6 Robert Vogel 2013-01-18 13:19:58 UTC 
A new version was deployed to the test system. Please have a look at it and tell me if it suits your needs.
Comment 7 Robert Vogel 2013-02-07 07:28:03 UTC 
I've noticed that the latest version is now in production system. I didn't deploy it so I assume that someone else has tested it on testsystem and found it to be okay.
Shall we close this bug as RESOLVED?

This is now integrated and at least working. Any further issues should be individually addressed on the new tracker.
