Description
The Advanced Search on kb_home.do has three drop-down lists: Topic, Category, and search engine. If the language is set to English and you set the category and do a search, the category on the results page (kb_find.do) will retain the category setting for the search. If the language is set to a language other than English, the setting for Category on kb_find.do is reset to '--All--'.
Steps to Reproduce
-
Navigate to System Definition > Plugins and install the I18N: French Translations plugin.
-
Click the gear icon and change the Language setting to French.
-
Navigate to the Base de connaissances module (Knowledge Base).
-
Click Recherche avancée next to the search bar to show the advanced options.
-
Set Sujet to Email and Catégorie to Trucs et astuces (Tips and tricks).
-
Search for any term.
Note that Catégorie has changed to -- Tous --- (All).
If you follow these steps but with the Language set to English, the Category value is retained.
Workaround
Because the Topic/Category dependent choice list has been deprecated since Fuji, this behavior is expected. For information, the advanced search is called in the kb_advanced_search UI macro.
