If you search the online documentation for either "ini" or "parse" then
you will find the function you are looking for.
My understanding of function name search is that it is for when you
know the name of the function already. I don't see this as a problem.

Description:
------------
(I see that there are two similar bugs reported, but one has been
labeled "bogus" and the other "won't fix". I hope that this one will be
taken seriously, and if not, I'd like to know why)
The "function list" search function at www.php.net (in the web site's
header) gives me results that don't contain the expected, obvious result
that I'm looking for. Here's one example. Let me know if you need more.
I'm searching for a function in the PHP documentation. It parses an INI
file.
Now, let's see what happens when I do a function list search for the
phrase 'ini':
Instead of a function list, I get the page "Appendix G. php.ini
directives", which doesn't have anything to do with functions or a
function search.
Next, I search for phrase 'parse':
I get a list of functions, none of which are the correct function which
is 'parse_ini_file()'
