After the recent post from here, some users reported that they are shown old documentation instead of the latest one for a query like "postgresql in operator". I myself have faced this quite a few times when searching for things like Zephyr documentation, either showing only the latest docs link or some very outdated one. Right now I only get links to the latest, so maybe something was done about this already?
My proposal would be to offer the user choice over the documentation version. Most sites follow simple URL-layouts for docs, usually including the version number in the url or something like latest
or stable
.
Maybe it would be possible to parse this information and offer a dropdown menu or similar for other versions that it found?
A possible way to handle this is to highlight the version section of the URL and make it clickable. A dropdown menu then offers the user a choice for some versions, for instance the last 5 or 10.
