I'm using Alfresco2.1

I'm trying to add other search engines(like described in the wiki)
I've put the following code in the web-scripts-config-custom

<engine label="Alfresco Open Source Talk" proxy="opentalk">
               <url type="application/rss+xml">
                  http://blogs.alfresco.com/opentalk/os-query?s={searchTerms}&itemstart={startIndex?}&itempage={startP...?}
               </url>
            </engine>
          <engine label="Yahoo UK News" proxy="yahooUKNews">
               <url type="application/rss+xml">
                  http://uk.news.search.yahoo.com/news/rss?p={searchTerms}
               </url>
            </engine>

            <engine label="Yahoo Search" proxy="yahoo">
               <url type="application/rss+xml">
                  http://api.search.yahoo.com/WebSearchService/rss/webSearch.xml?appid=yahoosearchwebrss&query={search...?}
               </url>
            </engine>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I've restart my server and when I browse to alfresco and open the opensearch component, those engines are shown. But when I try to search with those engine it takes really long and than I get en error "object Required"
Can anyone help me?

friendly regards

Nick

Hi,

that seems to works fine.
but form within alfresco it doesn't.
maybe something with the proxy of something like that?

I suspect that your Alfresco server can't get to the remote services because of a proxy/firewall issue. You can test this by calling the following urls directly from a browser on the Alfresco server machine.

Hi Nick,
Your config file works fine for me.
As an aside, be careful when calling the search URLs directly from the browser, the parameters ( {searchTerms}, {count}..etc )need to be replaced with meaningful values and the & should be &
If you remove one of the engines you've configured do they disappear from the list on the web client ?
As Mike has suggested it could be a firewall, or virus checker, or popup checker on the browser ……..?????
Is there anything in the tomcat logs to give a hint

I can open those urls from the browser on the server…. so really strange

yes

Is there anything in the tomcat logs to give a hint
no, nothing

it could be a firewall, or virus checker, or popup checker on the browser ……..?????
I'll have a look at it.

Hi team,
Right now i'm using labs 3.0 stable version. I configured the above code in web-script-config-custom.xml and getting the same "object null exception" any solutions for this. (this is when i try to use in IE 7).

And i want to search through google.com from alfresco (by using its opensearch). I'm facing the problem in this and posted in the forum http://forums.alfresco.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=18984 .

can anyone help me or provide the sample code for searching through google.com from alfresco using its opensearch.

any solution for object null exception ?
