What happened to the online help pages???

[altenbach]

I am failing miserably to find any online help pages for LabVIEW functions, they seem to have disappeared completely. 😞

For example, if I search the site for "flatten to string", I get nothing (see image), even after selecting the help section on the left. I have tried many other LabVIEW function names ("write to spreadsheet file", "index array", "boolean to (0,1)",  and it simply does not work anymore. I never had problems in the past.

This is a problem, because if I point out a function here in the forum, I usually link to the online help for clarity.

What changed? In the past, the correct entry was always near the top of the list.

sad but true.  😄 (I am always impressed how good google search is!)

So... what broke the search at ni.com?

It seems the situation is back to normal. Thanks!

While the search now works, the results are still slightly out of order, for example the LabVIEW 2011 help page is currently always on top, with the 2012 page second.

I would prefer if they were always sorted, newest first.

Here's a typical result. The first two entries should be swapped.
