What did you do?
I wanted to view the documentation for
sql.DB
, which is part of the standard distribution. I entered the search query ofsql.DB
into the interface, and it gave me no good results.What did you expect to see?
Basically this but on the new web site: https://golang.org/pkg/database/sql/#DB
What did you see instead?
I don't know how the web application is implemented, but I expect either standard distribution packages are not indexed, the search query format "<package name>.<Identifier>" is not supported, or the result ranking is somehow deficient. I had been using this on old Godoc with great success since time immemorial.
