Re: About Search Engine

I agree with Tina,

previously the search was actually quite useful, I actually liked the
inclusion of NCL-talk, but recently the search seems to include
everything. For example, if you search for "while" the second link
suggested is on the python manual page... Although the index suggested
is helpful, it still takes a lot longer to find what you are looking
for, especially if you do not know the name of the function - the search
engine used to be helpful for tracking down a function names quickly,
especially as NCL is so idiosyncratic with its naming conventions.

cheers, Adrian
