Search opApply in http://www.digitalmars.com/d/1.0/statement.html
Can't the search in digitalmars.com/d be improved? Searching for
"opApply" you get ten results which are just questions in the
newsgroups, and just in the second page you can see the result you
probably are looking for.
I suggest improving it in this way:
1. Have a map of obvious keywords that people will look for, to
precise urls. Some examples are: delegate, function, override,
virtual, class, struct, union, interface, pointer, op*, operator
overloading, inheritance, final, const, invariant, etc.
2. If the search is exactly one of the keywords, use the map above.
3. Else, use Google Search Engine.
The list might be big, but it can be done if the community helps, and
I think it will improve a lot the usability of the site.
Actually, the map can be [keyword -> list of urls]. For example, for
invariant it should point the invariant attribute as well as invariant
classes.
And don't point me to
http://www.wikiservice.at/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?LanguageSpecification/KeywordIndex
I know it exists, but people how enter the D site (and the above is
not the D site) will use the search box. Who uses indexes these days
when you can search and find what you want?
Umm... I didn't mean to sound rude or anything. Unfortunately, when
someone doesn't speak in its native language, he tends to sound rude.
Does anyone else have problems with the search box in digitalmars.com/d ?
Yes. I think I've mentioned this before too.
And I agree that letting the computer handle the searching instead of
manually memorizing where to find things in trees of indexed information
is... just better. The computer is (erm, /should/ be) better at it than
we are (most of the time).
