Hi. I'm one of those old fashioned folks with a slow modem due to nothing better available in my area. I find the PHP website's search results too long, both in taking too long to download and could be better implemented. When I search under function (which is the default) and that function doesn't exist I get a full function list. The top has a similar-spelling list. I suggest replacing the full function list with a list of functions and manual entries containing the search term. I searched for "password" and would have liked to see the chapter on http authentication rather than a long wait for the full function list. Also, it would be beneficial to limit general site searches by language. I don't need to see search results in every language. Maybe English by default, at least if coming from an English-language page. This would make finding what I'm looking for easier. Just constructive thought. Not only is PHP amazing, but you've got a really good web site.
