New documentation system search functionality

[carlotm]

Hi all,

one of the things I always look for in the docs is ets.

My experience with the previous system was fantastic:

• Browse to Erlang/OTP 26.2.3
• Click on “Search”
• Type “ets”
• Press “Return”
• I am on the Ets module page

With the new one:

• Browse to Erlang/OTP v27.0 — Documentation
• Click in the search box (which disappears when you scroll…)
• Type “ets” (I don’t see any result…)
• Press “Return”
• I am presented with this page: Search — Erlang/OTP v27.0
• I don’t know where to click

Is this poor searching experience expected at this stage, or something that needs to be fixed?

Cheers!

It is something that will be fixed by the final Erlang/OTP 27 realease.

Somewhere someone’s sed script went awry (pid() → pid/0):

Highlighting as there probably are other cases.
