Karmi (Shay, Clinton...),

providing [910301’s gists · GitHub](https://gist.github.com/910301) is still more or less valid and up  
to date description of search setup, do you think it would be possible (wise  
and safe) to allow also POST requests in the Varnish config? I would like to  
experiment with fragments highlighting for individual search suggestions.

Regards,  
Lukas

Hi,

I did some minor tuning to the site search:

1. added encoding of search parameters, this is useful especially for the  
search term (supports correct encoding of full Lucene syntax, for example  
"field cache" and "field +cache" are different searches now)
2. adding whitespaces before or after the search term does not fire a new  
XHR (should save some CPU and IO of the search server)
3. abort running XHR if a new one is started

Regards,  
Lukas
