Searching within the Shibboleth wiki pages (and a workaround)

[Simon Lundström]

Nice work Max!

Another workaround is to use the "Hamburger"/three dots-menu and under
"Advanced details" choose "View Source" and then search there.

Now that I know https://shibboleth.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/IDP4/pages/1265631612/LDAPAuthnConfiguration#Advanced-Features contains an example of chaining validators together, I want to go to that page and find the example. I would normally follow the link, hit ctrl-f and start to type "chain" to search within the page. Unfortunately this fails as the relevant section is collapsed by default. The same applies if you search the wiki (or Google) for "chaining ldap validators" and then try to find the relevant section on the page. I often ended up having to manually expand every section, which can be rather tiresome.

Chaining them together is trivial now  and there are examples showing how to do that in the earlier part of the page.
