Custom Form for Search in hue

[#1]

Hi,

I'm creating a new app in Hue to have a custom form input for solr searches

This is an example

I would to redirect a user that submit the form to search page present into hue and to put the "parsed" query into search box as:

Is it possible ?

Thanks

It's currently not possible, 

but it sounds like a good feature request, something like this I believe?

http://HUE_IP/search/?collection=50009&q=YOUR_SEARCH_QUERY

I created https://issues.cloudera.org/browse/HUE-3003 for this

Thanks!

Hi,

I modify the index function into 

/lib/hue/apps/search/src/search/views.py (cloudera parcels of CDH5.4)

Old Version:

def index(request):
  hue_collections = SearchController(request.user).get_search_collections()
  collection_id = request.GET.get('collection')

  if not hue_collections or not collection_id:
    return admin_collections(request, True)

  try:
    collection = hue_collections.get(id=collection_id)
  except Exception, e:
    raise PopupException(e, title=_("Dashboard does not exist or you don't have the permission to access it."))

  query = {'qs': [{'q': ''}], 'fqs': [], 'start': 0}
  return render('search.mako', request, {
    'collection': collection,
    'query': query,
    'initial': json.dumps({'collections': [], 'layout': []}),
    'is_owner': request.user == collection.owner
  })

New Version

def index(request):
  hue_collections = SearchController(request.user).get_search_collections()
  collection_id = request.GET.get('collection')

  if not hue_collections or not collection_id:
    return admin_collections(request, True)

  try:
    collection = hue_collections.get(id=collection_id)
  except Exception, e:
    raise PopupException(e, title=_("Dashboard does not exist or you don't have the permission to access it."))

  if request.method == 'GET' and 'q' in request.GET:
    q=str(request.GET.get('q'))
    query = {'qs': [{'q': q}], 'fqs': [], 'start': 0}
  else:
    query = {'qs': [{'q': ''}], 'fqs': [], 'start': 0}

  return render('search.mako', request, {
    'collection': collection,
    'query': query,
    'initial': json.dumps({'collections': [], 'layout': []}),
    'is_owner': request.user == collection.owner
  })

And so when I connect to 

      http://hue-server:8888/search/?collection=1&q=test 

The output is:

It seems to work

Thanks

Hi Alessio,

that would work with normal queries but not with UTF/weirdly encoded ones. Try to search for 比萨 for instance)

I'm working on it as we speak, so just wait a few hours and it should be out on github 🙂
