Search is broken on macOS/Safari 15

[petecooper]

STR: search docs site for anything, no results are shown. For example:

https://docs.textpattern.com/search/?q=form

macOS/Safari 15.0 shows the following console log:

[Error] QuotaExceededError: The quota has been exceeded.
	setItem (search.js:1:119221)
	(anonymous function) (search.js:1:119221)
	i (search.js:1:28112)
	fireWith (search.js:1:28876)
	l (search.js:1:79576)
	(anonymous function) (search.js:1:82019)

Likely fixable with #162 but if we can bodge something in the meantime, that would be super.

Works in Chrome and Firefox, broken in Safari 15. Will see if upstream project that provides the search JS has any reported issues.

[philwareham]

No issues at upstream project, but to be honest that project has been abandoned for a number of years.

Worth consideration: https://github.com/christian-fei/Simple-Jekyll-Search

I don't have time to implement until at least w/c 1st November. If someone else wants to try a fix, then by all means have at it.

Also, would be nice to get the self-hosted site up in the near future and end our reliance on GitHub Pages.

Agreed. On my roadmap when I have time, hopefully sooner rather than later.

I wanted to mention this too. Likewise QuotaExceededError: The quota has been exceeded in Safari 15 and still working on Brave (i.e. Chrome).

[philwareham]

Will try to fix on Monday, can spare an hour that day.

[jools-r]

May I nudge on this one too?

[philwareham]

Yeah, I can't fix this without the Jekyll site being self-hosted. Basically, Lunr.js tries to build the search using LocalStorage but because the site is quite large it's exceeding Safari's default local storage limit.

If the site were self-hosted, we could use a proper Ruby plugin to achieve search.

[petecooper]

I have issues with getting it to rebuild non-interactively, I am working on it.

[petecooper]

Docs site is now self-hosted.

[jools-r]

Could I nudge this one once more? It looks like you've added the packages and that the site is now self-hosted. I guess a puzzle piece is missing?

[philwareham]

@petecooper Hi Pete, I assume we use the self-hosted branch for development now (for the self hosted docs on our own server)?
