Description:
------------
for example typing $_SERVER into the search box, or foreach, or try, or __FILE__ should easily return the docs for the appropriate keyword/control structure OR function OR special variable without wading through pages of irrelevant junk, and without having to change the drop-down every time.

The preferred search mechanism is php.net/<foobar>.

http://php.net/$_SERVER for example works.

This is however something we should look better into :)

http://php.net/$_SERVER etc is something I didn't know about and will be very useful for my future doc searches - thank you for the comment.
