I think the problem occurs because the file http://www.php.net/functions.js uses the document.write() method after the page has finished loading, but it never calls document.close(). So the browser just sits there waiting. document.write(), if called after the document finishes loading, erases the contents of the document and replaces them, so that's probably not what you want anyway.

It is not obfuscated, but rather compressed. We also link to the original uncompressed files on our search page, so you can get the source if you want. The script would be more than double its size, if it would not be compressed. It is done to get the script to our users as quickly as possible and use less bandwidth.

Could everyone reading this bug report please find an uptodate mirror and see if the search suggestion works on the search page? One of the updated mirrors now is http://hu2.php.net/search.php

If the function suggestions are working fine on this page, then we can deploy them again on all php.net pages again. 

Re: Testing http://hu2.php.net/search.php page.

Using FireFox 1.0 on Mac OS X 10.3.7.

Still problems (may be considered a problem).

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Open URL from above,
2) Enter partial search term (e.g. "str_"),
3) Click on a function in drop down,
4) Browser loads appropriate function page,
5) Click Back button,
6) Goes Back to search.php page 
7) Enter another partial search term (e.g. "com"),
8) Click on function and nothing happens.

http://hu2.php.net/search.php is working fine for me now (Moz 1.7.3/Win2K)

Is this still borked?
