Searching the Wiki?

[Thac0]

Is there a current way to search the wiki? If not, are there plans to include one?

The search box is in the stationary bar at the bottom of the page (right side).

Swore I looked everywhere for that thing. It's not working for me in chrome (can't type in the search box). But that's a client issue (works in IE). Off to see what's not working.

 

Edit: Actually just tried on a vanilla install of chrome on another machine and the wiki search box refuses to accept text input from either the keyboard or from the right-click->paste context menu option (paste option is grayed out). 

 

A link to the search page on the main page would be awesome, and/or a note about searching the wiki on the wiki tab of the community guide.

Hmmm...you're right it's not. The Wiki is setup to generate an HTML 5 document, and for whatever reason caused the search box to break in Chrome (i.e. this is a Chrome issue). Will look into it further when I can.

 

In the meantime, I've added a search link in the Wiki menu which will take you to the Search page.

Ah, perfect place for it. Thanks.

I think I found the line that's causing the issue:

 

In the skin css

<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://wiki.step-project.com/load.php?debug=false&lang=en&modules=mediawiki.legacy.commonPrint%2Cshared%7Cmediawiki.special%7Cskins.step.css&only=styles&skin=step&*" />

The search input is set to unselectable:

input[type=search]
{
    -webkit-appearance:none;
    -webkit-user-select:none;
    -webkit-box-sizing:content-box;
}

Just remove or comment out the user-select line and that should fix it.

Thanks for spotting that, that was the cause.
