What is happening? The
University of Waterloo website search function will be temporarily replaced with a simplified, interim search tool.
Why is this happening? IST is working on implementing an updated
website search tool, scheduled to go
live in July 2019. However, the license
for the current search tool expires on Monday, May 6 at 3:00 a.m. An interim solution is required to ensure this functionality remains
available until the updated solution is in place.
When is this happening? The interim search tool will
be deployed on Sunday, May 5 from 2:00-3:00 p.m.
What are the changes?
- The interim search will be a central 'Search' page.
- On WCMS sites when a user clicks on the magnifying glass search icon,
they will be re-directed to a central search page.
Searches will display results from all uwaterloo.ca sites,
it will not be possible to limit results to a specific uwaterloo.ca site.
Javascript will need to be enabled on the user's browser in order for the search function to work.
