An existing bug report already describes this very problem. Even if you feel that your issue is somewhat different, the resolution is likely to be the same. Because of this, we hope you add your comments to the existing bug instead. Thank you for your interest in PHP. duplicate of bug #20870 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-13 14:50:26] goba@php.net Further comments at the original bug... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-13 11:43:09] philip@php.net Hey, nobody said there's a "I'm Feeling Lucky?" button! ;) But seriously, search.php should be fixed as the "new search engine" has been talked about forever/years, I think it's more of a dream than reality :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-13 11:13:01] steve at petabit dot com Yes, you're right it seems to be a duplicate of that bug. BUT, an additional comment that might be worthy of a new bug: (or would, if you weren't already working on a new search engine:) This bug can be duplicated as follows: type "Reserved Words" into the search box on www.php.net. Choose "Online Documentation", and click 'Go'. Now take the first link returned! So unless you have been previously warned to look for extra language codes in the URL (I wasn't), you're likely to hit this problem a lot.

One day such links won't be presented in the search.php page. If you got to this invalid link a different way let us know. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
