When talking about module and function references, there are other areas<br>
for improvement. We don't have a search mechanism on the official docs<br>
and that's problematic because modules are split throughout multiple<br>
applications. I find myself constantly changing the URL in the address<br>
bar in order to navigate between modules in different applications<br>
because it is never clear how to do that from a given module page.<br>

I am sure it is possible to do it and I have done that before but on<br>
every day usage I still struggle with navigating the docs even after<br>
working on Erlang for 5 years.<br>

Not anymore!<br>

It won't get you specific guide pages though, like the typespecs page, but you shouldn't have a problem finding functions anymore.<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>
