I tend to use "java6 simpledateformat" as my query for that.

In Firefox I have the following quick-search to fix that (and make searching the API a little faster):

http://www.google.com/search?q=java+6+%s&ie=utf-8&oe...

This should also work in Chrome.

Yep, I've done exactly that for the Java 6 docs in Chrome and FF. The general point of how do you keep the latest version of a set of documents the most relevant still applies however. I hope Google can fix this :)

I had the same annoyance searching for PostgreSQL stuff -- the latest docs are almost never accessible from the Google page, just docs 2 years old or more.

Similarly searching for Apache directives (e.g. http://www.google.com/search?q=rewriterule ) returns result for apache 1.3 docs. You have to add 2.2 while searching for apache info.
