[New-bugs-announce] [issue37862] Search doesn't find built-in functions

[Kim Oldfield]

New submission from Kim Oldfield <python at oldfield.wattle.id.au>:

The python 3 documentation search
https://docs.python.org/3/search.html
doesn't always find built-in functions.

For example, searching for "zip" takes me to
https://docs.python.org/3/search.html?q=zip

I would expect the first match to be a link to
https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#zip
but I can't see a link to this page anywhere in the 146 results.
