Hi!

I really like the looks of the new documentation.

There is a small thing that was suggested before and that would help a
lot: a search field (hopefully with autocompletion, too). Typing
"li<TAB>:keys" to go to lists:keysearch would be soooo sweet!...

I realize now that generating this is probably the job of the
docbuilder application, which would mean that I can probably submit a
patch myself (if I get to it). Will check that (but if someone else
has faster fingers, I won't hold a grudge Smile.

BTW, a related question: I see that the issue tracker at github is
being used. What is the current policy for reporting bugs? It would be
nice if there was only a single place instead of three (some people
like me do post bug reports here instead of erlang-bugs anyway), for
example if the github tracker could send email notifications to
erlang-bugs.

best regards,
Vlad

Hi Vlad,

A search facility will come , we will create an index
for this purpose as part of the docbuilding process.

No need to patch the docbuilder application.

There is a preliminary version of the search facility
now running on the (perliminary) demo site:
Go to http://demo.erlang.org/doc.html and type e.g "keyse"
in the text field in the grey right column, then click the
looking glass button... Comments are welcome.

The same search application should eventually be
possible to run via the OTP webtool application on
your local Erlang/OTP installation as a HTTP
server on your local host.

Currently it searches for names anywhere (functions, modules and applications),
so you can search for `ets', follow to the ets man page and then
scroll down to the `new' function.

Or you can search for `new'.

You can also search for `ets new', which oddly enough
does not give ets:new higher ranking than any other
Whatever:new function...

It sounds like a very nice idea that either `ets:new' or
`ets new' would give higher ranking for a hit on both
module and function (and application). I will forward
the idea to the developers (hope they read this too).

This is an impressive improvement.

Currently I am using gotapi, and its API is not the latest:

Looking good!

I look forward to an UI similar to gotapi, where the input box shows
the filtered results in real time.

Vlad

That is a really cool tool. Annoying that they call modules
"class", but anyway impressive...

This site sets a standard that erldoc should strive to
reach, but with the latest documentation!

Well, when you are in the search page, the search result list
is updated in real time. It is not a drop-down menu, though,
and gotapi feels snappier.

Good enough?

I didn't notice that. It's good enough for me.

I prefer
http://erlapi.prepor.ru/docs/

It scrolls to selected function and has pretty style.

Yet another nice one. This seems to be a problem
that many want solutions for.

It is also fast, but I can not readily find a quick
way to search for a function name when I do not
know the module. If I type "new" ets:new comes at least
one page down and there is no possibility to filter
for function names only.

Another nice thing on this site is that you get
Application
Module:Function
Short description
already in the search results.
