Will Somebody Fix Codex’s Search Functionality?
Posted in WordPress
Don’t you think it’s kind of weird that searching for “the_category” on WordPress Codex results in quite a lot of page, but none of it shows Template Tags/the category, the correct page for it?
I mean, the search term is also used on the correct page’s URL, so what’s the big deal here? Note that searching it via Google shows the correct page as the first result.
I frequently had some problems searching for various other things too. I love Codex, but sadly I must say the search functionality could use some help. What do you guys think?

Actually, its not just the codex search function that needs a revamp. Wordpress.org needs it too.
I hear WP2.5 has improvements - something good that I’m looking forward to.
I too have wondered why is it when I type in a specific conditional tag or function that it doesn’t appear as the first search result. It’s usually near the bottom or on the second page.
