Summary:	Searching using the custom search fails to restrict the results to the specific FAQ
Issue Type:	Bug
Affects Versions:	8.4.1
Assignee:	Unassigned
Created:	04/Feb/26 14:46
Priority:	Major
Reporter:	Vincent Massol
Description:	To reproduce: Search for a term using the custom search UI. This will lead to a URL like `http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/FAQSearch?space=FAQ&wikinames=xwiki&text=test`. Then on the search result page, search again by pressing the Search button. You'll notice that it leads to a URL like `http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/FAQSearch?highlight=true&facet=true&r=&text=test&sort=score` which loses the `space` query string parameter. Thus the search is done on the full wiki.

The solution is to do what the DocApp does:

Use the f_space_prefix query string parameter in the custom search UI form: https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/documentation/blob/40c848632c9908134c7756794ae3ae00e5d2018a/documentation-ui/src/main/resources/DocApp/Code/LandingPageSheet.xml#L100
Don't specify any space parameter in the custom search page, as in: https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/documentation/blob/c1f23d7bc966bc382cb0d0d8bf376155051490cd/documentation-ui/src/main/resources/DocApp/Code/DocumentationSearch.xml#L45-L48

The reason it works is because the custom search page reuses solr search macros which automatically create a form that adds hidden inputs by taking the query string parameters starting with "f_".
