[New-bugs-announce] [issue45378] Can't find "map" with search on docs.python.org

[Guido van Rossum]

New submission from Guido van Rossum <guido at python.org>:

I was looking for the docs for 'map' and tried to use the search box on docs.python.org. This gave a lot of things whose name started with or contained 'map', but the entry for the builtin map() function was hidden really far down under the heading "Builtin Functions" (https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/functions.html?highlight=map) rather than deep-linking to the entry I was looking for (https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/functions.html#map).

I'm sure that some tweak to the index builder could fix this, in general, for all builtin functions and types (many of which I imagine suffer from the effect -- having a short name that is used a lot as a part of other names).
