(mis?)Using $$ReturnGeneralError as a shortcut for search

Lets the users search like this:
http://example.holidays.no/index.nsf/tokyo
Everything in regard to Tokyo

http://example.holidays.no/index.nsf/hotels/tokyo
Hotels in tokyo

http://example.holidays.no/index.nsf/restaurants/sushi
Restaurants that serve sushi


In the HTTP Head Content of $$ReturnGeneralError, add a little JavaScript to extract what is typed after the path to the database (application if you're using N8 beta ;) ).

"<script>
var db='"+@WebDbName+"';
var loc=document.location.href;
var viewToSearchIn = '($People)'; //if not specified
var newloc; 

//if searchview->error, return general error

if(loc.toLowerCase().indexOf('searchview')==-1){ 
var query=loc.split(db)[1].replace('/','');
if(query.indexOf('/')!=-1){
viewToSearchIn = query.split('/')[0];
var tmpquery = query.split('/')[1];
newloc=loc.replace(query,viewToSearchIn+'?searchview&query='+tmpquery);
}
else{
newloc=loc.replace(query,viewToSearchIn+'?searchview&query='+query);
}

query=query.replace(/s/g,'+and+');//replace whitespace with +and+

//avoid the back-button pointing to the erroneous url
document.location.replace(newloc); 
}
</script>"

Above I'm using a view called ($People), to search in. You can pass the "query" to whatever you want.

Demo application
You have to create the full-text index on the db yourself to searh on the web.

This is the same as Jake's FakeNames.nsf, but I changed the $$ReturnGeneralError form.

Tested URLs:
http://yourdomain.com/fakenames.nsf/tommy
Searches in the default view, ($People)

http://localhost/fakenames.nsf/peoplecat/abigail
Searches in the peoplecat view

http://localhost/fakenames.nsf/holidays/aus*
Searches in the holidays view

With the last view, you can also write: http://localhost/fakenames.nsf/holidays/austria
which opens the austria document (sorted view).

You can of course take this even further, with per-application mapping-documents for particular searches.
