aclweb.org is down

[danielgildea]

The acl anthology search box isn't working, because the results from google
point to aclweb.org, which is not working.

Some DOIs resolve to aclweb.org:
https://doi.org/10.18653/v1/2020.acl-main.119
These should point directly to aclanthology.org.

Does anyone know what is happening with aclweb.org?

Here is a temporary solution for Google Chrome users:

1. install "Redirector" extension https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/redirector/pajiegeliagebegjdhebejdlknciafen/
2. set up redirect rules like below

On Twitter there seems to be a fair amount of frustration about this. Is there any way to push a hotfix for the search result URLs?

@desilinguist any insights regarding aclweb.org?

On Twitter there seems to be a fair amount of frustration about this. Is there any way to push a hotfix for the search result URLs?

So, checking our custom search configuration, I found that we never changed the URLs we point to there...

I changed all of these now, and at least the search embedded in our site seems to be mostly fixed.

aclweb.org is working again now. We should still make DOIs point to aclanthology.org. This is tracked by #1278.
