#27874 [Opn->Bgs]: 'online documentation' search feature, searches whole website

ID: 27874 Updated by: goba@php.net Reported By: webmaster at learningmedia dot co dot nz -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Website problem Operating System: Mac OS X (10.3) PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: The www is intentionally included, to not include the mirror sites in the search results. docs.php.net is damn slow, it is just a test server for our upcoming livedocs documentation renderer which will include manual restricted search, so please be (a bit) patient. Our website only has a few pages more than the manuals, so I don't think this is a critical problem.

The www is added which should not be: array site:www.php.net The correct syntax in Google is: site:php.net array But this still provides a sitewide search... The old Google syntax allowed for sub-directories: site:php.net/manual array But now that will not work! It seems that the only way to solve this problem (which is really a Google problem...) is to create a subsite that Google can index. But we already have docs.php.net so we just need to changethe www. to docs. and problem is solved: site:docs.php.net array And it finds the page as the first one! But it's still not as good as the old search that imediately took me to the function if it existed. We should be able to use Google's lucky search to do this or we can implement it separate from google before the redirect in the search.php script... - mICON FRiNK ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-04-05 17:37:56] webmaster at learningmedia dot co dot nz Description: ------------ When using the search feature of the website, the 'online documentation' option appears to search the whol site. For example, when I searched for 'macro' using the 'online documentation' option the resulting page was: http://www.google.com/search?q=macro+site:www.php.net&l=en This is the same page that is returned when the 'whole site' search option is selected. [Otherwise I love your site. I refer to the manual pages every day. :-] Regards James Robertson ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=27874&edit=1
