Terrific. Fast and meaningful.

I echo Thomas' request to have docs limited to a version (or, better,
most recent). Perhaps archived docs should be searched via a separate
page entirely.

+1 there - current docs should be searched unless you specify all/older docs. Maybe old docs can be included in the archives section, which the link isn't overly clear that it is the mail archives.


Most the queries I did hit what I expected, except that the docs were
for old versions. (In fact, I don't think 8.2 docs ever showed up
first.)

I tried "defer constraints" and got a few not-too-useful hits. However,
"deferred constraints" returned meaningful links. Is that a stemmer
problem?

I reckon the old search showed 3-4 lines in the 'preview' of the listing, now we only get 1 which sometimes wraps partially onto 2. Personally I preferred having 3-4 lines in the results - it can be easier to pick out the page that you are searching for without going there.

One thing that I have seen on a few searches (eg. yahoo cached pages) is when you follow a link it then highlights the search criteria on the page. Would be a nice feature to quickly find the search result on the destination page.



I found a little error in the page coding calculations -

Search for create
it states "Pages 1-20 of more than 1000." - that's ok
if you go to page 50 you get "Pages 981-1000 of more than 1000." - fine
then on page 51 you get "Your search for create returned no hits."

search for 'select' or 'update' gets the same thing. It would seem that you have a 'limit 1000' which gives the 'more than 1000' in the hits description but it generates an extra page (51) that tries to fetch 1001-1020
