There is no longer any link (that I could find) to the reflection and compiler docs for Scala 2.
Last time I tried, I may still have seen a directory listing under 2.13.16
, which now serves the library doc.
The full URL still works, so this restriction is only of academic interest, but I note it here.
Fetching these docs is quite slow.
Maybe something got fixed or self-corrected, but
is the current “API Docs” text link and shows all the artifacts.
I looked again just now because of

I didn't even know there is a real documentation for the functions, until I read… a book which specifically mentioned the type-based search, which I attempted to locate, and struggled. The [guide page about Type-Based search](https://docs.scala-lang.org/scala3/guides/scaladoc/search-engine.html ) doesn't even try to explain how to get to the actual type-based search page. Not once does the page mention that you have to click "API" while on the "Learn" page and then select the library API version, you probably don't even care about.
In fact, I would expect to be able to get to the "real documentation" from the main page with one click. Why is it hidden like this, under ill-defined terms like "Learn" and "API"?
but I swear I clicked all around earlier and couldn’t find it. I would guess but not swear that “API Docs” was “current” library docs.
I haven’t rebooted my machine or restarted Firefox today or aligned any chakras.

Thanks, I miss the red dot.
Not everyone is aware that The Staircase is visible from space.
I also forgot that “Scala runs on…”, thereby justifying the use of arbitrary commas in documentation.
I had to hop on the library docs yesterday to fresh my memory about how to use Regex
– so I was grateful to have contributed some of those docs in, checks watch, 2014. My use case was replacing subpatterns with embedded literal $
(which must be quoted).
