Bug description: Redundant results from searches in php.net
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,
