[technology taskforce] At-Large Website - Google Search Update

Wed Jun 7 22:22:00 UTC 2017

Dear At-Large Community Members,

We have completed the testing of the new Search on the At-Large website and
as planned are ready to release this tomorrow, June 8 at 22:00 UTC.

A special thank you to those of you who participated in the testing and sent
your feedback to the team.  Not only did this help the At-Large community
but also the wider community with the upcoming switchover on icann.org
scheduled for later this month.

Kind regards,
Laura

Hi Satish,

Laura is on a deserved vacation this week and I¹ll be happy to respond in
her place:

1. What is the periodicity of updating the search database? Is it on a
continuous basis or at an interval (such as daily or hourly)?
We are using Google custom search and our search database is a Google search
database. Updating the search database is based upon Google crawling and
indexing our site which is not documented.
1. What is the implicit sort order of the result presented? Is is relevance,
date, or some other order?
We currently sort on both relevancy and date.
1. Some of the familiar Google search operators (filetype:, - etc) seem to
work. Is this an undocumented feature or is there a list of supported
operators available somewhere?
Google haven¹t officially declared all the search operators and their uses
but following are some which may be helpful.
1.      http://www.googleguide.com/advanced_operators_reference.html
2.      https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/2466433?hl=en

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Thanks Laura. Thanks for the work on this.

The Site Search appears to work well (after a not-too-systematic round of
testing). I have the following queries:
1. What is the periodicity of updating the search database? Is it on a
continuous basis or at an interval (such as daily or hourly)?
2. What is the implicit sort order of the result presented? Is is relevance,
date, or some other order?
3. Some of the familiar Google search operators (filetype:, - etc) seem to
work. Is this an undocumented feature or is there a list of supported
operators available somewhere ?
