Checking logs for pgdoc.link I noticed that some people where searching for system views, like pg_stat_activity, or pg_stat_all_tables in Pg 9.3.
Now, these will work. This increased total number of known keywords from 1840 to 1883. Not much, but it's a progress 🙂
PostgreSQL documentation is, generally speaking, great. But it isn't the easiest thing to search in. Over the years I memorized urls to certain docs, but there is a limit to it.
What's more, there are certain inconsistencies. For example – most pages that describe program have name that starts with app-. But not all. Some programs have names that start with pg_, and some don't have this _ thing. Their docs usually get rid of _ in file name, but, again, not always, sometimes it's changed to –.
I've been aware of all these things, and even tried to look for a way to fix it in docs, but never could get around to learn docbook.
So, figured I can provide a tool that will search the way I think it should…
