Thread: [pgsql-advocacy] Does Google like old versions of the Postgres docs?
Hi, is it just me, or does Google like old versions of the Postgres docs? I seem to get a first hit pointing to 9.1 very often. Just now I googled postgres earthdistance and got a pointer to the 8.3 (!) version, even. Any thoughts about why that's happening? Bye, Chris.

This has been discussed, several times that I can recall, on pgsql-www. IIRC, our web team is doing something about this, but it's slow to take effect on Google's listings. -- Josh Berkus Containers & Databases Oh My!

My recollection is more along the lines of- we've tried a bunch of stuff and nothing seems to work. Thanks! Stephen

Has anyone asked the Django docs team how they do it? The docs layout is similar: postgres earthdistance https://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/earthdistance.html django group by https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/topics/db/aggregation/ Where 1.10 is the latest production version. > > Thanks! > > Stephen > -- Adrian Klaver adrian.klaver@aklaver.com
