Description Adam Archer CLA 2007-06-05 17:06:53 EDT
When run in infocenter mode, the help system does not seem to be correctly disabling the search scope feature (which it should since this is stored in the configuration). Instead of providing the "Search Scope" functionality, it should give the option to perform an "Advanced Search".

Generally the option is never disabled, though I have seen one machine (Windows XP) disable it in Firefox only (v2.0.0.4). On this machine, the link to the advanced search option displays incorrectly as "Advanced\u0020Search".

The option should always be disabled and the link should display correctly.

It turns out the Search Scope option in infocenter mode is a feature! When running in infocenter mode, the search scope is maintained as a cookie. When cookies are disabled in the browser, you see the "Advanced\u0020Search" string. This is a regression since 3.2.2 and since it's just a cosmetic flaw in an edge case, it will be deferred to 3.3.1.

Patch for 3.3.1 stream

The label string was being encoded for javascript even though it is going directly into the jsp as text.
