Hello,
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,
