There is a search box at the bottom right, and it is indexed by Google (included "site:faq.javaranch.com" in your search terms).
Actually the page you were looking at *was* a just-in-time search result!
Would it help if we moved the search box to the top right?
And with all due respects to you and the rest of the JavaRanch team, the material covered does not completely answer the "Oh, I saw this post just yesterday!!" problem
It is a work in progress - and we could use any help we can get! The FAQ is a wiki, that is, everyone is able to edit pages, hyperlink them or even create new ones. So, if you find that anything is missing or could be improved, just do it!
And the CategoryFAQ does not seem to be organized, so any newbie who steps in there (Assuming that he knows that such a page exists), will be disheartened to see all those myriad terms (myriad atleast to him).
Yes, unfortunately the search result isn't even alphabetically ordered. This is fixed in the newest version of Friki, but my last attempt to install failed. We are working on it.
We once had a more organized overview page for the FAQ, perhaps we should reintroduce it?
