Re: [BUGS] BUG #2560: Web page documentation hard to use

The php language web site (http://www.php.net/) seems to have a good
solution; the search can be restricted to just the function list.

The other language reference that comes to mind is the perlfunc man
page; every keyword is on one page, with examples.  Searching is not as
big a problem because you know you're on the right page already; you
only have to scroll down to the keyword in alphabetical order.  It makes
for a long page, but that isn't much of a drawback.

I just had a thought; is there an index of keywords for postgres?
