Hi Luis (CC'ing TEI-Council),

I've just noticed that while on the TEI Website if I search for something. Let's say 'persName'. The URL is http://www.tei-c.org/?s=persName but this searches website-only content rather than including the Guidelines. Is this by design? Inherent limitation since the Guidelines are stored separately?  There is a google site search on the generated Guidelines pages, e.g. http://www.tei-c.org/release/doc/tei-p5-doc/en/html/index.html which searches the Guidelines. 

I'm assuming the first search is a wordpress one which can't know about the Guidelines content (stored outside wordpress). The problem, obvious I hope, is that people don't know that the first search doesn't search the guidelines as well.

Options that occur to me:

a) Change the label of the first search ('website only' or similar) and the text on the results page (if possible) to point to the Guidelines search to say 'Or search in the Guidelines' and have a guidelines search box there.

 

b) or replace with google site search throughout so that all search boxes search all the same content or something.

Just thought I'd mention it. What do others think?
