Hi there.
I am emailing because I don't think your site search doesn't seem to be too clever - I searched for something in the uk.php.net site and the first 20 matches were the same page in 20 different languages - and the english version was the 11th hit. Surely this can be improved.
Here are some suggestions:
* given i am searching the uk mirror, the page(s) in english should come first, at very least
* the server should be able to recognize my browser prefers english, and return only pages in english - perhaps with a 'other languages' link
* the search engine should recognize there are different version of the same page and only return one hit for each, perhaps with a 'other languages' link.
Hope you'll be able to improve an otherwise very good site.
regards.fritz
