Well, since the advent of 0,13 has had me tinkering with my templates again, I’m afraid it’s back to headbutting walls in confusion with regard to trying to understand Hugo’s variables [both config and template]. Might as well flag the issue up again, since the new release is likely to be sending so…

[image] stiobhart: .Prev Agree that the doc could be better. It is written by tech nerds who like to code, the doc is often an afterthought. something we have to do … I’m curious, you talk about “the new pagination” feauture, then talk about .Prev and .Next (a pager feature that has been the…

Yep. I know that .Prev and .Nex have been there a long time. I just hadn’t used them before, but decided to add those in, as well while I was implementing the new [as in 0,13] .Paginator function. That’s when I ran into the abovementioned confusion over variable scope, etc. I did eventually find th…

I believe you are making up some of the problems here. I just went to the doc site, typed in “pagination” in the search box in the upper right corner of the main frame, and was taken directly to the correct page. 99.99% of all people know how to use a search provided by Google.

Yes, there SHOULD be. It was added some months ago. Could you try some cache-flushing-medicine? Like ctrl+R or similar. I believe it also requires JavaScript, so if you have that turned off, it could explain. If you cannot get it to work, create an issue on GH with browser and OS info.

It’s not a caching issue, as I regularly have to force empty Firefox’s cache when doing CSS stuff and I’ve never seen a search box on the Hugo site. I’ve just checked in Chrome as well and no search box there either. However, according to Safari… [image] Most peculiar!

It’s there on my Ubuntu box in both Firefox and Chrome. Weird. @anthonyfok added this, maybe he has some fix for it.

Mystery solved. I’ve got uBlock installed on Firefox and Chrome and it’s been blocking Google Analytics and [for some reason] Google CSE : [image] OK. Now we’ve solved that mystery, can we get back to arguing again? [image]

A bit off-topic, but just for the record [and I stand to be corrected by anyone with greater knowledge than me of the Adblock filter syntax, which is also used by uBlock ], the following works for me to whitelist the Google Search box on the Hugo Docs section, and other sites: @@||google.com/cse/* S…

Just wanted to say that yes, I share your confusion over variables. That said I’ve never met a project yet where variable scope doesn’t confuse me, its not unique to Hugo!
