The RFC series includes more than IETF standards. We believe that

RFC Editor/bb
I think the problem is (and I've wondered about this oddity previously too)
that the *IETF* main website should have a *direct* link to "the RFC
search engine". The bottom link that says "RFC Editor" is not an
obvious decision path for a casual www.ietf.org user, and the
main "RFC Pages" link only directly offers a lookup for people who
know the RFC number they're after. Again, not great for casual
(or can't-remember-what-RFC-had-this-word) users.
I don't think the real question is about the RFC Editor site's layout.
It's about why the IETF main page itself doesn't provide a link directly
to a/the search engine for RFCs.
