There was a typo-bug in Gaim

There was a typo-bug in Gaim 2.0.0 beta2 and earlier that prevented it from working with x:data forms for JUD. I've since fixed this in CVS. 2.0.0 final, whenever we get it out, will work just fine.

GAIM Search Problems with ejabberd

I've logged this as a bug with the GAIM dev guys. Hopefully they can get it fixed before it goes out of beta.

Thanks!

The error message reported by ejabberd clearly states that your Jabber client (GAIM 2.0 beta 2) lacks a required feature in order to use vJUD search.

If you look at JEP-0055: Jabber Search, it says that:

If a host needs to gather additional information, Data Forms SHOULD be used; a host MUST NOT add new fields to the 'jabber:iq:search' namespace. Support for extensibility via Data Forms is RECOMMENDED, but is not required for compliance with this JEP.

The implementation of JEP-0055 available on ejabberd requires JEP-0004: Data Forms. So there are several options:

Use GAIM but don't use vJUD
Use another Jabber client that includes support for JEP-0004. Examples: Tkabber 0.9.8, Psi 0.10. Do not work: Gajim 0.9.1, GAIM 2.0.
Add support for JEP-0004 to GAIM.
Disable requirement of JEP-0004 in ejabberd: I'm not aware of any method, or if it's interesting at all. And the trend is to add features, not remove, right?
