help.ubuntu.com search returns no results in Chrome

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

1. In Chrome, go to <http://help.ubuntu.com/>.
2. Search for anything that has results (e.g. "grub").

What happens: You get a page saying "Search Results", but no results.

What should happen: Search results.

The same problem does not happen in Firefox or other browsers.

I believe this is due to importing a insecure JavaScript file onto the search page. Chrome has recently been updated to block insecure content loading on a https site.

I will talk to the guy that runs the site to get the import changed to a secure import.

Thank you for bring this to our attention.
Ant.

The ubuntu-docs project is not configured for bugs so I am moving the bug to the correct task and closing this task.

This has been fixed in revision 78 of the help.ubuntu.com branch by Jeremy Bicha:

https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-doc/ubuntu-docs/help.ubuntu.com

I'm closing the bug but please do test and report back if there are any issues.

Thanks

I think this code might be problematic:

http://git.gnome.org/browse/yelp-xsl/tree/js/jquery.syntax.core.js#n221

GNOME's online help at library.gnome.org is only accessible via http not https. I just added a line to our html build script to change http://www.google.com URLS to https. Anyone who is duplicating our help on their site (LoCo's for instance) on non-https sites will likely want to remove that line from html/fix-urls.sed.
