I only wish Xcode’s built-in search were this good.Īnd, to be clear, that’s not Google’s fault. So far, Apple’s search (again, not the filter field) has worked very well. Often, it’ll only turn up the PDF, not the specific chapter I want in the HTML doc when it does show me what I want, it’s nowhere near the top. Google, whether I restrict to or not, has gotten pretty consistently bad for me. I’ve found that the order and quality of results are usually better from Googling site: than from searching directly on. 26 Responses to “Apple documentation search that works”

No wild goose chases, no PDF mines, no third-party old backup copies, no having to scroll past six hits of mailing-list threads and Stack Overflow questions. You even get relevant technotes and Q&As. Then add one or both of these searches: For the MacĪDC iOS how the results page gives you both guides and references at once, even giving specific-chapter links when relevant.

That often isn’t much better than without it. You’ve probably been searching it like this: This isn’t just an easy way to use the filter field it’s an entirely different solution. I hope others try this out - like I said, its nice to have a reason to have my NextStation on, and part of my work-from-home routine.You’ve probably tried searching Apple’s developer documentation like this:Įdit: That’s the filter field, which is not what this post is about.

You are welcome to create a "game" for free there along with the (very small) webOS community - but be aware, there's no real security (OmniWeb doesn't know HTTPS or modern encryption!) If you agree to the posted terms, you'll be given a chess move and a grandmaster - these are your login, and can be used on multiple browsers at a time. One of my other hobbies is another dead platform called webOS (a mobile platform formerly from Palm and HP), so I have a hosted version of the service here:
For now, the form-based capability that works on NS means that you have "Save Changes" for most actions. In the future, I'll detect other browser features, and further adapt the user experience to take advantage of them.
It works beautifully on NextStep, and reasonably on the latest Firefox/Chrome/Edge. The initial client is forms-based, but adapts the UI to old and new browsers.
To that end, I've built a To Do list web app that works on virtually anything - and was specifically developed with OmniWeb as a first class client running on a NextStation.ĬheckMate is a chess-themed productivity "game" that you can use anywhere. If you're here, there's a good chance you have more than one retro computer, and are on the look-out for ways to keep them useful.
