Description
The search function on https://docs.julialang.org is IMHO not very good. Some examples:
- searching for operators like
^
or&&
simply does not give any useful results at all - OK, maybe I have to search for
Base.^
orBase.:^
? Nope, does not work either - Interestingly, searching for
Base.!=
gives me a correct hit, but at about position 15 or so of the search results (number 1 is for some reasonBase.fd
?) - but what I really wanted to find is
Base.literal_pow
, which is mentioned in the documentation forBase.:^
, so let's search for that; oh yeah, that gives the right result -- but again only at position 10 or so of the search results - though searching for
literal_pow
does work right, at least something - searching for
@info
gives no hit at all - searching for
...
gives useless results (see Impossible to find ... (splat operator) in documantation JuliaLang/julia#36496)
I'll try to add more concrete examples as I come across them; but I've really struggled many times to find stuff in the Julia manual, even when I know it is there.
(This was JuliaLang/julia#38238)
