Description:
------------
Here's something I'd find very useful - and that I often do accidentally. It would be useful if the "search for XXX in functions list" box would return something useful when XXX is
not a function, but is an operator or a keyword.

For example, 'new' or '&' or '<<<'

I realise that none of these are functions, but they do fit better into the category of "functions" than anywhere else. Also, searching the whole site for them is often fruitless. Eg how would you search for stopwords such as "new" or "&" or "if"? How should one find out what '<<<' is if you haven't seen it before?

I'd also find it useful if it included OOP keywords as well such as clone, static, __set...

This bug has been fixed in CVS. Since the websites are not directly
updated from the CVS server, the fix might need some time to spread
across the globe to all mirror sites, including PHP.net itself.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP.net better.

Use the shortcut syntax, php.net/<<< php.net/if, 
php.net/new and so on.

(added & as a shortcut)
