If you've ever had to search for something in the Curl Developers documentation than you may have discovered that the search capabilities are pretty limited. This is an issue that was brought to my attention pretty early on. We definitely need to fix this.

One way to get better search results is to use Google search in combination with the on-line documentation for the Curl Developer's Guide.

Google provides the ability to focus a search on a specific domain or even subdirectory in a domain using the "site:" attribute. All of our on-line documentation is stored at the following URL: http://developers.curl.com/userdocs

If you want to search that documentation using Google you can do so by entering the following in your google search box (on you browser or from Google.com directly)

site:http://developers.curl.com/userdocs search-string

So, for example, if I wanted to search for all articles realated to "security" and "dialog" I would enter the following in my Google search box

site:http://developers.curl.com/userdocs security AND dialog

(It seems you have to use the boolean operators (e.g. NOT, AND, OR) in order for this to work).

This is not the best solution but it helps a lot. Hopefully we will be able to improve the search capabilities on the documentation in the not too distant future. In the mean time use this trick to help you find things on the web site.
