Initially the search performs against the PHP manual. However on the right hand side is a link that takes your search string and runs it through a site search - https://s3.amazonaws.com/shares.jacobbednarz.com/PHP__Manual_Quick_Reference.png Perhaps we need to look at a way of: - Making that link more predominant OR - Including a section from the site search under the functions section.

Documentation was great, but the issues were mainly with Apache not working correctly with PHP. I had problems finding binaries or ZIPs for Windows and also getting to the bugs page. I found myself going to google and including `site: php.net` in with my searches just to find what was needed (distribution downloads in one case). Typing `windows` in search did nothing as the search is primarily geared towards the language, I think. What do people think about improving the PHP.net site to look and function more like python.org? I know it was just given a face lift too!
