Docs search no longer has filters - a huge step back

So I used to use docs.unrealengine.com for all of my search activity for UE4 content, and have directed all students I’ve ever taught UE4 as well as coworkers I’ve skilled-up to use this site because it’s so **** useful, but now it happens to be broken.

Remember this? You could search the forums, the answerhub, and different types of documentation.

Eventually it changed to this, which was still useful.

But now it’s changed again :frowning:

This is from a URL which still takes you to a cross-service search (Search - Unreal Engine), but the filters are gone! Nothing like Forums vs Answerhub vs C++ etc etc.

This forum post explains it as well; https://forums.unrealengine.com/unre…ntation-search

We’ve lost having a single point of entry with filterable searches like the above. Was this intentional, and what’s the replacement? Feels like a huge step back.

We recently noticed this was removed for some reason. It’s something that we’re aware of and it is being looked into. We do understand the value it holds when searching across UE sites.

Hey !

Phew, what a relief, I was worried it was gone for good. That is excellent news, thank you for letting us know! :smiley:

+1 to that - awesome news! Was very worried :slight_smile:
