Something is off with Google Custom Search... maybe it's a local or temporal issue, I don't know.
As an experiment, try to search for "Using FreeMarker with servlets" with quotation marks(!). For me, it won't find the page whose title that is. Instead it finds a dozen of pages where that expression occurs in the side ToC (which ideally should not be considered at all). On the same time, plain Google gives the desired page as first hit. Also, now I get JavaDoc hits mixed with Manual hits, despite of what I have experienced earlier (no search in JavaDoc). It's not necessarily bad, I just didn't know that we have changed this... did we? -- Thanks, Daniel Dekany Saturday, November 21, 2015, 9:49:29 AM, Daniel Dekany wrote: > In practice I have found some problems with search on freemarker.org: > > - I can't search in the API java docs. > > - When I search in the Manual, I often also want hits from the API > JavaDocs, though getting them wouldn't be logical because of the > structure of the site. > > - There's no search box on the Home tab.
