Version 2.0. Early beta.

2009-04-30T20:25:00.000-07:00

Version 2.0 of gotAPI website is in last stages of development. Our goal was to update all the indexes, make search faster and more straight-forward. We took some risky steps and eliminated elements of user interface; we moved things around. Let us know what you think about our new approach - we are eager to get your opinion. If there was time to affect how gotAPI is going to work, it is now. Early beta of version 2.0 service is available at http://beta.gotapi.com.

Better search relevancy

2007-02-09T23:20:00.000-08:00

As suggested by users we have updated our search algorithm. It now separately prioritizes exact and 'starts with' matches over all others. It may have slightly impacted search performance but should significantly improve search relevancy. Thanks for all your suggestions.

ActionScript and Flex2

2006-12-07T21:01:00.000-08:00

We are working on implementing Marcomedia Flex2 documentation index. Anybody who is intimately familiar with Macromedia products please let us know if you think it is better to merge with existing ActionScript tab or create a separate one. Please comment here or mail to info at gotapi.com. Thank you!

Experimental Code/Forum Search for PHP

2006-12-06T10:51:00.000-08:00

I have put together a pilot of PHP search page focusing only on PHP specific websites and activities. Realizing that attempts to create generic search better than Google will fail, it looks like there may be some use in "vertical" searches utilizing only known good sources. The search page is currently available from PHP tab and focuses on Source Code and Forums. It will be implemented for other technologies if community likes it.

Here is the direct link but I think it will be more useful in the context of gotAPI website site:
http://www.gotapi.com/search.html

Your comments are more than welcome.

CakePHP updated

2006-12-03T09:22:00.000-08:00

To match recent changes in CakePHP documentation we have re-indexed corresponded pages.

2006-11-21T13:38:00.000-08:00

As requested Oracle10g, DbUnit and Java2ME have been added to the index page. I am not very familiar with Java2ME so please let me know if documents need to be re-arranged or combined.

Long awaited Python

2006-11-06T17:46:00.000-08:00

I finally overcame problems with Python documentation indexing and was able to add Python to the search tabs. I'm not sure if structure is going to work for Python developer. Send your comments to info at gotapi.com
