New issue 3209 by address@hidden: Searching stable release  
documentation should only return results from stable release
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3209

Laura Conrad reported here:

as follows:

------------------
When I hit the "Documentation" tab on the web site, I see a page labeled
"Manuals for LilyPond 2.16.2".  However, when I do a search, for
instance for "italic lyrics", I get a search of the 2.17 documentation.
That is, the text in the google search box says
"site:lilypond.org/doc/v2.17 italic lyrics".

------------------

Phil Holmes explained that this is due to a design decision taken by the  
authors of the Lilypond documentation:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-lilypond/2013-02/msg00100.html

as follows:
---------------
No - that bug was returning results that were too _old_ for current stable.  
This mail is pointing out that we return search results that are too _new_  
for current stable. However, as we use a common search box for all the  
docs, development and stable, we have to choose to search either stable or  
development, and we choose the latter.
---------------

So, this tracker is an Enhancement request.

Cheers,
Colin.
