New Comment:
It depends on the mirror you use.
Some mirrors have sqlite setup and will use metaphone() to
determine the most likely function you meant and redirect
you.
So, this is "a feature, not a bug" :)

Description:
------------
I used to be able to search the PHP.net site for keywords in functions
and have it provide a short list of possible matches. Now, it seems to
be automatically redirecting to what the search thinks I meant (which
keeps guessing wrong).
A quick example, searching the function list for the phrase keys will
give me the pan page for the "cos()" function, not show me a list
including the function I was after which was "array_keys()".
With over 9000 bugs matching "PHP.net Website problem search" in the
database, I can't tell whether this has already been reported.
Expected result:
----------------
Either the ability to turn off the fuzzy searching or show a summary of
possible matches (the original behavior as of a month or two ago).
