This looks useful :) I did notice that clicking firefox-esr's[1] reader-view button (or equivalently hitting Ctl-Alt-r [yes, lower case]) niether shows the latest search result (I searched for -"sha" (BTW, my convention: prefixed '-' on double-quoted string means without the quotes, ok?)). [1] Mozilla Firefox 68.10.0esr per -"firefox --version" It seemed to go back to a locked-in one-time-memoized value that persists through other searches and even exiting the browser and restarting it, and even after hitting its reload button. All it keeps showing in reader mode is --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- guix-website-test.cbaines.net Packages 1 minute ghc-cryptohash-sha1 0.11.100.1 This Haskell package provides an incremental and one-pass, pure API to the SHA-1 hash algorithm (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-1), including HMAC support (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMAC), with performance close to the fastest implementations available in other languages. The implementation is made… ghc-cryptohash-sha256 0.11.101.0 This Haskell package provides an incremental and one-pass, pure API to the SHA-256 cryptographic hash algorithm (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-2), with performance close to the fastest implementations available in other languages. The implementation is made in C… --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- which I think is the result of my first search of all -- which was for -"sha256" (sans quotes again, no more explaining that :). Actually, on the reader page, there is visually a blank line above the -"ghc-cryptohash-sha256 0.11.101.0" line in the snip above, though I don't think that's relevant to not seeing a refreshed reader view of new search results -- unless it's actually a wl-copy/paste bug somehow. The latter has a man page, but no --version option, though debian's -"dpgk -l 'wl-*'" found it [Version: 1.0.0-1], in case it plays any role. On debian, -"apt show wl-clipboard" should tell the package details for you if needed. In my case it's re-packaged for pureos, so it'd be good to test reader view on other browsers and distributions. Anyway, raingloom got me thinking more about reader mode, and I think he would appreciate attention to that. I'll try to Cc: him :) > I'd like to know if you find the page useful so that I can hopefully start > working on incorporating the search functionality into this page: > https://guix.gnu.org/packages/. > > Best Regards, > Danjela HTH -- Regards, Bengt Richter
