From: Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Website problem Bug Type: Bug Bug description:Search produces pages of irrelevant results Description: ------------ Any search on the "online documentation" produces pages of "SPL-StandardPHPLibrary" results, making it hard to find what you're really wanting and making the search practically useless. This is not how it has worked in the past. Test script: --------------- For example, try to find the documentation on these items (selecting "online documentation"): clone classes interface One gets around 10 pages of results, with almost all of the first few pages containing results from "SPL-StandardPHPLibrary". Expected result: ---------------- I would expect to see more relevant results first. As example, if one searches for "clone" in "function list", a clone function is listed, but it has nothing to do with the "clone" keyword. The best result for "clone" in "online documentation" is found at the bottom of page 2 of the results instead of somewhere near the top (preferably the top) of page 1. Actual result: -------------- Won't be helpful to try to show the actual results here. See "Expected Result" documentation above. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51735&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51735&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51735&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51735&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51735&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51735&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51735&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51735&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51735&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51735&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51735&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51735&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51735&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51735&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51735&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51735&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51735&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51735&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51735&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51735&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51735&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51735&r=mysqlcfg
