This appears resolved as searching for a string such as "notstrpos" displays the function
listing page (http://php.net/manual-lookup.php?pattern=nostrpos&scope=quickref) and should you
select to search the entire site, "l" is an included parameter now
(http://php.net/results.php?q=nostrpos&l=en&p=all).

Description:
------------
[I originally sent this message to 'php-webmaster@lists.php.net'
and received a reply from Hannes Magnusson, requesting that I submit it as a bug report here.]
[This item bears a resemblance to bug report #20966 from 2005, but is not identical, and I think the
problem bears investigation.]
I'd like to bring to your attention a problem I've encountered frequently when searching
the online documentation at php.net.
After typing in my search string, I find that that results include multiple redundant items, the
only difference between them being that they originate in versions of the documentation for
different languages.
E.g., php.net/manual/en/function.pg-result-status.php,
php.net/manual/hk/function.pg-result-status.php,
php.net/manual/hu/function.pg-result-status.php, php.net/manual/tw/function.pg-result-status.php,
etc.
This results in a needless expansion of the search results, and hinders the process of scanning the
list for relevant items.
Is there any way of limiting a search to the documentation in a particular language?
That would greatly improve the accuracy and usefulness of the search utility.
Thank you very much for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
