Google Search string for either docwiki, Delphi 2007 or Delphi 2009 docs
Posted by jpluimers on 2019/01/02
These search the Delphi 2007 docs:
Similar for Delphi 2009 docs
The second ones search just English, and the first searches all languages.
Given the Google search indexing, the first might give a lot of Japanese search results:
I made shortcuts for the English one in Chrome:

I did the same for the docwiki (where you cannot distinguish between languages in a generic way for all Delphi versions, as the language comes after the Delphi version and the kind of documentation (CodeExamples, Libraries, etc.)):

Reasoning:
- It’s the earliest Delphi version having documentation on-line in HTML format.
- The foundations of the RTL/VCL structure has not changed since then
- The links can be archived in the WayBack machine and still look nice after archiving (no CSS fuzz that makes archived pages hard to read)
