Yes, it'd be nice if that search went straight to the function in question -- however, it'd make the docs a lot more broken up and IMHO harder to use if each module had 15 sub-pages for the individual functions. Harder to scan or Ctrl-F on the page, for one thing.
- hising 14y agoOften when I need to lookup something in the docs it is a specific function, I do not want scan large blocks of documentation for a whole module, internal linking to similar functionality and all other functions in the module reachable with one click would solve two problems for me: 1. Take away the information overload you get today when searching for specific documentation on one thing and 2. Make all the other things reachable in one click, CTRL+F + Click. Another solution could be to keep the pages as they are today but the possibility to click down the hierarchy to get to a more in-depth function-page where you can get comments, solutions, examples etc. This would cater for both tastes of documentation consumption. This would also solve the problem with coming into the docs from search, making it easier to get a 100%-hit directly when searching for a specific function.
