Description:
------------
"mysqli_fetch_assoc" not returned by PHP Manual search, although it can be found by browsing to the url:
https://www.php.net/manual/en/mysqli-result.fetch-assoc.php

Also seems to affect bug report searching too, as searching for this string finds nothing, but posting this report seems to find duplicates.

Test script:
---------------
1.	Search PHP Manual for “mysqli_fetch_assoc”

Returns:
2.	PHP Function List
mysqli_fetch_assoc doesn't exist. Closest matches: 
	•	mysql_fetch_assoc ...etc

Click on first one, gives:
3.	mysql_fetch_assoc
(PHP 4 >= 4.0.3, PHP 5)
mysql_fetch_assoc — Fetch a result row as an associative array
Warning
This extension was deprecated in PHP 5.5.0, and it was removed in PHP 7.0.0. Instead, the MySQLi or PDO_MySQL extension should be used. See also MySQL: choosing an API guide. Alternatives to this function include:
	•	mysqli_fetch_assoc()

Clicking on this option takes you to https://www.php.net/manual/en/mysqli-result.fetch-assoc.php:

4.	mysqli_result::fetch_assoc
mysqli_fetch_assoc
(PHP 5, PHP 7)...  ...etc
Copying mysqli_fetch_assoc and pasting it into PHP Manual search gives:

#2 and so Ad Infinitum
