Description Kyle M Hall (khall) 2014-11-17 14:46:23 UTC
We have multiple sites that are still exhibiting bug 11369. For whatever reason, the cookies on these sites are larger and thus the maximum of 10 is still too large. This setting should be controlled by a system preference to the number can be tailored on a per-site basis.

Comment 2 David Cook 2014-12-01 05:31:44 UTC
I have an idea to fix this that would use the sessions table (like the OPAC browser but without its current limitations).

The fix I have in mind will allow the result browser to work in multiple tabs without bloating the request header which leads to the fatal error.

It's more work, but I think it'll be a more robust fix. 

That said, I wouldn't be opposed to this patch getting pushed in the mean-time...

The search cookie is no longer used in master, search history is stored in the database.

Have we missed anything?

Interesting! I haven't looked at master recently, so I'm not sure. I wonder which commit changed the use of the search cookie...

I think its not the same thing, user search history is the history of wich search query he has used.
Bug 11369 concerns the browser used after a search to go to previous or next result.

If that's true, shouldn't my test plan fail?

Kyle,
Don't you think it would be better to correctly fix the issue and store the searches using the sessionStorage?
It will avoid YASP.

Yes, but as David said, this will work in the mean-time, unless someone is willing to write and submit a counter patch!

[PASSED QA] [PASSED QA] Bug 13265: Use sessionStorage to store searches instead of cookies

This is a counter patch.
The idea is to provide a permanent solution for the cookie length issue
we occurred on storing the searches (intranet side).

Test plan:
Launch as many searches as you can (don't forget to sleep).
You should not get any error.
Confirm there is no regression using the results browser.

Tested with 6 parralel searches in different tabs (with alternatively browising up and down). No problems found.
