User Guide

Managing Documentations

Documentations can be enabled and disabled in the Preferences. Alternatively, you can enable a documentation by searching for it in the main search and clicking the "Enable" link in the results. For faster and better search, only enable the documentations you plan on actively using.

Once a documentation is enabled, it becomes part of the search and its content can be downloaded for offline access — and faster page loads when online — in the Offline area.

Search

The search is case-insensitive and ignores whitespace. It supports fuzzy matching (e.g. bgcp matches background-clip) as well as aliases (full list below).

Searching a single documentation

The search can be scoped to a single documentation by typing its name (or an abbreviation) and pressing tab (space on mobile). For example, to search the JavaScript documentation, enter javascript or js, then tab.
To clear the current scope, empty the search field and hit backspace or esc.

Prefilling the search field

The search can be prefilled from the URL by visiting devdocs.io/#q=keyword. Characters after #q= will be used as search query.
To search a single documentation, add its name (or an abbreviation) and a space before the keyword: devdocs.io/#q=js date.

Searching using the address bar

DevDocs supports OpenSearch. It can easily be installed as a search engine on most web browsers:

On Chrome, the setup is done automatically. Simply press tab when devdocs.io is autocompleted in the omnibox (to set a custom keyword, click Manage search engines\u2026 in Chrome's settings).
On Firefox, add the search from the address bar: Click ••• in the address bar, and select Add Search Engine. Then, you can add a keyword for this search engine in the preferences.

Note: the above search features only work for documentations that are enabled.
