There's no excuse for not doing this right anymore. It's not like we're asking IBM to invent something from scratch. The components are already there for a seamless search experience. Client-side search with WASM and https://www.meilisearch.com/ First send the whole Docs' index down to the client, and then search locally.
It is incredibly painful to look at the dumb spinning wheel. Adobe-indexed PDFs aren't fast either. For a company that produces world class machines (mainframes) & code (z/OS), this isn't even a challenge. It's the organizational structure that's reflecting itself in the products (new Docs site, ye olde KC site). Only saying this because there's so much room for improvement in some of their products, not to meaninglessly complain. System REXX, proper LLVM-based languages on Z could easily be used to outperform all the Java-based Frankenstein-ing. Maybe I'm ignorant and too deluded but it's painful to see the layout/architecture of products such as RDz, z/OSMF, and the absence of single, consistent design. - KB ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ On Monday, May 3, 2021 8:42 PM, Tom Brennan <t...@tombrennansoftware.com> wrote: > I went to look at a few wait state codes this morning and was surprised > at how long it took to completely retrieve each web page.
