How does the search function work in the Acrobat JavaScript API Reference?

I visit the site
https://opensource.adobe.com/dc-acrobat-sdk-docs/library/jsapiref/index.html 

almost every day. Finding something specific there is quite tedious. Most of the time, Google search takes me to the right place.

The search field in the top left corner of the Reference does not work for me, neither in Firefox nor in Internet Explorer nor in Google Crome.
Is there a trick to making this search work? How do you do it?

I don't do any web searches anymore. Now I describe in detail what I want to achieve, and the AI spits out a ready-to-use script for me. If things get tricky, I refer to documentation and sample scripts. So far, I’ve been doing this in OpenAI in my browser. But I’m switching to Cursor with Claude running in the background. That way, it works independently of the browser. It’s incredible how much time you can save this way.

Good to know ​@yosimo 

You just shared a great solution!

Don't forget to mark your solution as best answer. It may help many.

 

One more question, is the AI tool that you use working outside of those web browsers or are you using their integrated AI when you perform a web search?

Hello ​@yosimo ,

 

Just curious, how old is your system that you are still using Internet Explorer?

 

Did you mean to say Microsoft Edge browser?

Yeah, you're right, I meant Microsoft Edge. But it doesn't matter which browser you use: the search doesn't work in any of them.

Now I just use some AI tool, and it helps me find a solution faster. Apparently, the AI does a pretty good job navigating the Acrobat SDK docs.
