Hi,
Search engines often reference old versions of the GHC user guide. For
instance with Google and the request "ghc unboxed tuples" I get the
manual for 7.0.3, 5.04.1 and 6.8.2 as first results. With DuckDuckGo I
get 6.12.3 and then "latest" versions of the manual.
So I have made a custom search engine for the latest manual (using
OpenSearch spec). You can install it from the following page:
http://haskus.fr/ghc/index.html like any other search engine.
Sphinx supports automatic generation of OpenSearch spec:
http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/1.4.8/config.html#confval-html_use_opensearch
Maybe we should use this to make the search engine easier to find and use.
As a side note, would it be possible to have a nicer URI for the latest
doc? Currently it is:
https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/latest/docs/html/users_guide/index.html
Something like https://haskell.org/ghc/doc/index.html would be better IMO.
