CI user manual search is useless

    I used to really like the search on the manual for CI but now it doesn’t work at all.. Before you could type in an individual method name or class and it would always bring back the exact page containing the function you wanted. You could search for form_input and it would give you the the form helper / class for instance. Now it matches nothing and is a waste of time.

    Here are some example searches:

    form_input = Link

    userdata = Link

    form_error = Link

    set_flashdata = Link

    redirect = Link

    models = Link

    As you can see, useless!! Google is no good as a search engine these days as they don’t index anything. They index less than a third of pages and it’s going down all the time. They also ignore punctuation so a search for $this->load->model will probably come out as $this load model which could match anything.

    It’s because codeigniter.com now redirects a client to http://ellislab.com/codeigniter, so the manual on that domain is no longer available. so, your search query should be like the following:


    site:http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide userdata
