Remove or emphasise need to log in for search

drupalorg_project module does the altering to require logging in. We actually might be able to remove the requirement now that we have faster DB servers. I would still like to wait until #2136119: Text search on issue queues is slow and sometimes WSODs and #2135385: Regression: the pager no longer lets me jump to pages, nor shows total number of pages are fully resolved.

un postponing since those issues are done.

Regarding the placeholder text, just wanted to pipe in that "Login" is a noun whereas "Log in" is a verb (and the better choice here).

+1 a) Allow anonymous user searches

This seems exceedingly detrimental to the entire Drupal user base as: A) It is an inconvenience for those with accounts who only need a quick look up, and B) A complete denial of site functionality to those Drupal users (e.g. most) who do not have Drupal.org accounts.

Please return the search functionality back to how it was prior to whatever decision/update disabled it.

Thanks!

The search would be open for anonymous user with this patch.

This patch doesn't apply:

drumm@Neils-MacBook-Pro:~/drupal/git/drupalorg$ curl -s https://www.drupal.org/files/issues/patch_407.txt | git apply
error: drupalorg_project1.module: No such file or directory

See https://www.drupal.org/patch.

There is also some code in drupalorg_project_form_views_exposed_form_alter() that will need to be removed.

This is the new patch for drupalorg_project module with changes made accordingly.

sorry, could not edit or delete the previous patch here, so i uploaded a new one. i hope this patch works.

There is one permission need to set at admin/people/permissions. Under Search give 'Use search ' permission for anonymous user.

And then you can create a search block with below settings

My search block visibility settings:

LAST STEP
Go to
Home » Administration » Configuration » Development » Performance
"Cache pages for anonymous users"
just hit "Clear all cache" & your good to go!

or else in your own module you can use

hook_enable() {

$permissions = array('search permission');
user_role_change_permissions('DRUPAL_ANONYMOUS_USER',$permissions);
}

Hope this helps contact me for any clarifications.

Thanks,

Looks okay. I did find a bit more code that could be removed.

unset($form['#info']['filter-search_api_views_fulltext']['label']);

Was removing the default field label, which we now want to keep.

We’ll merge & deploy this to Drupal.org sometime during the work week since it does have performance implications and we want to monitor how it does in production.

This has been deployed to Drupal.org.
