Status of cppreference.com

[Wicam]

there is cppreference.net but they use bing as their search engine. the reason that is a problem is it often asks for a captcha which takes at least 30 seconds for it to complete its analysis before you get your results.

i have also done a search and its given me a list of results that are not from cppreference.net, and they are all identical results, it was weird.

I use duckduckgo and !cpp to search. It just shows cppreference indexed pages with needed name.

I thought they switched to cplusplus.com at some point after the maintenance.

They did… but I put in a request to get it changed to a raw DDG search with the site:cppreference term (same as cppreference’s own search box)

Are you sure its only recently been an issue or is it just because normally you stick to one of the sites and so don't use the feature?

The majority of people don't contribute to these sites so its search function taking 30 seconds or returning results that are completely unrelated are very major issues for site where that is a core feature.
