When I do a search in documentation, for example:
https://docs.python.org/3.9/search.html?q=os.walk
The links in the results are sometimes duplicated, for example this link below shows up twice in the search result:
https://docs.python.org/3.9/library/os.html?highlight=os%20walk#os.walk
On a Mac I was unable to reproduce this - the link to the search results give me a list of two items:
-
os.walk linking to https://docs.python.org/3.9/library/os.html?highlight=os.walk#os.walk
-
Changelog linking to https://docs.python.org/3.9/whatsnew/changelog.html?highlight=os.walk
However, on windows I got a list of 4 items:
-
os.walk : https://docs.python.org/3.9/library/os.html?highlight=os%20walk#os.walk
-
os.fwalk: https://docs.python.org/3.9/library/os.html?highlight=os%20walk#os.fwalk
-
os.fwalk: https://docs.python.org/3.9/library/os.html?highlight=os%20walk#os.fwalk
-
os.walk: https://docs.python.org/3.9/library/os.html?highlight=os%20walk#os.walk
In summary:
Mac didn't know os.fwalk. Windows didn't show the Changelog. Windows showed each link twice.
On the current dev branch, search has changed: https://docs.python.org/dev/search.html?q=os.walk shows os.walk for my first search result and a bunch (100+) of other search results with all or parts of 'os.walk'. This is for Windows though, so unsure if it was changed on Mac.
On Firefox 105 on Linux it works as @slateny mentioned in the last comment: it shows os.walk once then a bunch of semi-related results.
It looks OK to me.
