Presumably the solution then would be to write a document using the terms you expect which links them up with J?
(Much like Henry Rich's J for C Programmers?) That said, I think there's other problems issues with search (perhaps related to search engines placing too much load on J's website?). It's often pretty difficult to find any documentation on J's website, even constraining the search using site:jsoftware.com and including long words which are you can see are on the page. I don't know how to fix that kind of problem. -- Raul On Tue, Sep 15, 2015 at 5:39 PM, Skip Cave <[email protected]> wrote: > I believe that the general problem with menus is semantics.
