At-Large Website - Google Search Update
Dear At-Large community members, You may have heard Google¹s announcement to retire Google Site Search and our need to move to Google¹s Customer Site Search on the At-Large and ICANN websites by 30 July. You can read more about it on the ICANN blog post here <https://www.icann.org/news/blog/q-a-what-the-retirement-of-google-site-sear ch-means-for-icann> . We are pleased to inform you that this work has been completed and tested for the At-Large website. The testing site, https://atlarge-staging.icann.org/ is now open to the community for final review for one week before releasing to production on 8 June. There is is also one issue that will be fixed in this release relating to the Policy search that a few members have reported. If you have any questions or feedback please contact laura.bengford@icann.org and corinna.ace@icann.org. Thank you very much. Laura Bengford Director, Product Management for Community ICANN
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 ? satish On Sat, May 27, 2017 at 12:10 AM, Laura Bengford <laura.bengford@icann.org> wrote:

Hi Satish, Laura is on a deserved vacation this week and I’ll be happy to respond in her place: 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. 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. 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 haven’t 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 3. https://bynd.com/news-ideas/google-advanced-search-comprehensive-list-google... 4. https://supple.com.au/tools/google-advanced-search-operators/ Please let me know if you have any further questions.

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.

I do note a small bug - if you search for a phrase, the search attempts to to search for the phrase but with %20 substituted instead of spaces. Removing the %20 and trying the search again works. See attached screencast of the bug in action. Dev Anand On Fri, May 26, 2017 at 2:40 PM, Laura Bengford <laura.bengford@icann.org> wrote:
