This is just another example of the "limited" value of the wiki. I'm using lazarus/fpc on windows, linux, macosx 32 and 64 bits and regularly I'm still looking for install/update help and I have never hit the mentioned page. Most of the usefull wiki pages I've encountered are through links on a mailinglist or in bug reports. Just try googling site:freepascal.org lazarus install. The page is listed position 153! Ranking is poor because nothing seems to link to it. The wiki search is also really useless. Try a search for lazarus install: lazarus manager is in position 347! No wonder people keep struggling with installing/updating lazarus. This morning I was looking for some info on parameter passing. Search for "parameters" and you get http://wiki.freepascal.org/Parameters on position 9 in article matches title. Search for "parameter" and the previous page is at position 157 of page text matches... Google for site:wiki.freepascal.org parameter and you find the page on 3.
What about getting rid of the wiki search in favor of a custom google search?
