search Handbook not working as expected

• Apr 29, 2017 - 00:39

When I go to https://musescore.org/en/handbook and in search box enter "hide staff" I want to search ONLY in the handbook. It used to work that way (am pretty sure). Now it seems to take me to a bunch of discussions.

Same with "hide", all I get is discussion nodes.

If this was a purposeful change, I don't like it. I have come to trust the Handbook - leave me there.

So how do I search ONLY Handbook?

The search function on MuseScore.org malfunctions, so the search was changed to use google. It will most likely stay that way until the new site is unveiled. Last word I heard it was supposed to be in May.

You can download the handbook and use the PDF search function.

I confirm Mike's comment. Handbook search will be reinstated with the upgrade of the MuseScore.org site late May.

While Google search remains in effect you can add the following to your search terms:

site:musescore.org/handbook

or possibly

site:musescore.org/handbook/en

or other language.

I tried this and while it doesn't work from the search box on the right of the screen, once you have initial search results you can add it to the search box on the left side of the screen and it appears to work just fine.

just tried suggestion, did not work for me.

I tried
with & without "en" at end

and with & without key search word at beginning of suggested text.

1) insert in the search field above "hide staff handbook" or
2) search via google "hide stave handbook site:musescore.org"
