Re^2: scheme://query no longer works in Search box

The issue I raised isn't about /?node=scheme://..., it's about the search box no longer functioning. These are two different things.

The search box currently makes a request of the form /?node=..., but it doesn't need to. For example, it could make a POST request.

Alternatively, it could continue to make the same request, but only accept doc://, mod://, id:// and other safe schemes.

You should maybe explain the benefit of such a feature, if you want it to be (re)implemented. In 13 years here I've never used this. The resources of pmdevs are limited and the to-do list is long. Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply]

Well, doc:// and cpan:// brings up the docs very easily. These are very useful things to have when answering questions. I use them all the time when answering questions.	[reply]

I have DDG as default search engine and use it for that purpose, even outside PM. `!perldoc term` -> https://duckduckgo.com/?q=!perldoc+term&ia=web `!cpan term` -> https://duckduckgo.com/?q=!cpan+term&ia=web Update And of course you can just type the schemes and test them in preview. I'm also editing a lot after posting. (sic ;-) HTH :) Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply] [d/l] [select]
