Description:
------------
In the search box at the top-right of the screen at http://php.net, type "mysqli_real" as if you were going to search for "mysql_real_escape_string"



Expected result:
----------------
The autocomplete should show a few clickable results:
- mysqli_real_escape_string
- mysqli_real_connect
- mysqli_real_query

All of these functions exist. They are aliases of MySQLi::real_escape_string() etc, but they do exist in the functional form. Also, if you do type the name blindly and correctly till the end, e.g. you type "mysqli_real_escape_string", and you hit Enter, the search engine does find the result and directs you to the relevant page: http://php.net/manual/en/mysqli.real-escape-string.php

Hence, the autocomplete should suggest those results.

Actual result:
--------------
It doesn't.

The problem applies to all OOP+Procedural documentation pages where methods and functions are documented on a single page. The tool that parses the documentation source fails to produce results for the procedural form.

In the scope of this report, the tool that generates search-index.json, such as the following copy for en/, requires an update:

  http://php.net/manual/en/search-index.json

The previous fixes were hacks that don't address the central problem (I added one such hack!) which is why this general issue remains.

The same goes for "locale_parse", which is documented together with Locale::parseLocale()
