Hello,
Given the questions of late, I have created a search page for the docs:
https://www.freepascal.org/docsearch/docsearch.html
This will search in the manuals, and in the reference documentation for the
units.
There is ample room for improvement, but the page already works.
Things to improve:
- Allow 'contains'
- Allow 'minimum rank' (rank is the number of times a word appears in a page)
- Allow to specify in which manual you want to search.
- Integrate searching in the doc pages themselves.
The underlying mechanisms for this search are 100% FPC based:
fpindexer, fcl-web, and the webpage logic is done using pas2js.
(meaning you need to have Javascript enabled)
Feedback and comments welcome.
Michael.
