I'm wondering if there's a way to improve both the presentation and the search engine on the following two sites:

* docs.kde.org
* The wikis

My primary issue is I'm unable to a regular expression search in these sites.

Regular expressions are really powerful and can make finding information easier, provided they're supported by the back-end software. All too often web based products don't. Where I find them most helpful is using the \b code to force the search to take into account the beginning and/or end of words. This, fortunately, is not a problem with docs.kde.org, as its seach engine understands the concept of a "word", so searching for e.g. "direct" doesn't return results that include "directory" or "redirection."

Worse, and this is a huge issue with docs.kde.org, is once you're off the main page and into the documentation pages for a given product, you're presented with a extremely sub-optimal one-HTML-page-at-a-time layout and no search option at all, essentially making it impossible to search these pages in any useful fashion. The only way to search them is to download the PDF version. Even then I haven't yet found a PDF viewer that can do regular expression searches, so I have to convert the PDF to text. Only then can I do a complex search on it .

Another example: go to userbase.kde.org and search for "virtual desktop." You get pages that include virtual or desktop, when what I was looking for was information on how to set the number of virtual desktops in KDE 5 Plasma. I had to use DuckDuckGo to find the answer ... at stackoverflow.

Sometimes it can be frustrating being a power user when all you're given to work with are hand tools.
