Thanks for clearing that up. I have just been searching for build
instructions (again), and in the search response I cannot see if an article
is outdated, so I had to open some before I got the correct one.
Would it be an idea (if possible) to have "outdated" as a category, and
extend the search to say with/without outdated, if possible that would work
fine for me since I would hit the recent one when searching.
regards
Jan.
