One thing I don't like about the new design is the search. The old version allowed you to enter a function name and press enter, and then be taken to the function page. Now you have to enter the function name and wait for it to appear in the search completion list and click on it. Else you get taken to a results page, that opens links in a new window.

Isn't that so that people can talk about a function (for example json_encode) in different places, have it register in search, and have other people be able to find it?

If they have that kind of lookup table implemented for functions, don't you lose the ability to search for just mentions of a certain term? Also I found the dropdown completion list to be pretty fast (once I clicked a link it loaded rather slowly, though)

Click "Step into the future! Click here to switch to the beta php.net site" at the top to see the new design.

It's a huge improvement visually.

It's like Christmas has come for PHP developers.

Finally a big step forward, maybe PHP will be catch some support on the Web 2.0 bndwgn now
