New in Scilab Online Help

Improvements and new features of the search engine

Scilab users can now use the search engine with the following improvements:

• Words with underscore, _, are now accepted as keyword,
  For example: http://help.scilab.org/docs/5.3.3/en_US/search/add_demo
• Wildcards searches are possible
  For example: http://help.scilab.org/docs/5.3.3/en_US/search/plot*
• Better quality and presentation of the results.

Our Japanese Users will also be happy to learn that the search engine is now available for the Japanese version. 

The direct access to a function is also easier. Users can now type directly in the url http://help.scilab.org/function_name. This will redirect to the right page in the documentation.

For example, http://help.scilab.org/comet3d will redirect automatically to http://help.scilab.org/docs/5.3.3/en_US/comet3d.html
