A few things I noticed on the new website:

1) On www.swi-prolog.org, there are now two "Search Documentation"
   boxes, which behave differently:

2) When I search for "transpose/2" in the upper box, I get predicate
   descriptions of transpose/2, as intended. However, when I click on
   "Show source", they point to library(simplex) instead of their
   intended sources library(clpfd) and library(ugraphs).

3) When I search for "transpose/2" in the lower box, it shows a page on
   "How to use the search box".

4) The overview of most important features which was available in the
   previous website is no longer available. The previous version
   mentioned for example the graphical tracer, the profiler, JIT
   indexing etc. all on one single page. I think this kind of overview
   is very valuable especially for new users and should be restored on
   the main page or at least prominently linked to from the menu.

5) When I search for "clpfd" in the upper box, it finds a link to:
   http://www.swi-prolog.org/pldoc/doc/swi/library/clp/clpfd.pl where
   the CLP(FD) operators are shown in prefix instead of infix. It also
   finds a link to http://www.swi-prolog.org/pldoc/man?section=clpfd,
   where the operators are shown as intended (= infix). (The lower
   search box again leads to "How to use the search box".)

6) The link to the DCG tutorial does not work (leads to "Not Found").

7) The links in the pull-down menus change colour if I move the mouse
   pointer over a rectangular sub-entry, suggesting I can click anywhere
   within the rectangle to follow the link, yet it only works if I click
   anywhere on the *text* instead of anywhere within the rectangle.
   
Thank you and all the best,
Markus
