PHP manual changed - Sort of for the better

I noticed my bookmarked page to the PHP manual index changed a while back. I didn't pay too much attention because I usually use the search function. They changed the layout of the Function Reference from a long semi-alphabetic list to non-alphabetic section headings with alphabetic sub-lists. I am really not sure if it is better.

I do like it broken into sections, but now I can't find anything. For example, I was trying to find the fairly common date() function. It is in the "Calendar and Event Related Extensions" ?? I ended up using the browser to search the page.

1. CHM - local, searchable, well-indexed
2. Opera -> , (comma = incremental search in links on the page) -> type "date" or whatever -> voila
