PHP Manual - MySQLi Functions Missing

Has anyone noticed that the mysqli_* functions seem to be missing from the manual at php.net?
If you search for mysqli_connect it takes you to mysql_connect, and if you look at the mysqli documentation it only shows the class usage.
Are they trying to force using it as a class by removing the function references?

I had never really noticed that. I had to work pretty hard to find this:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/mysqli.connect.php

it's in "vendor specific database extensions", right under mysql.
Where's it missing from?
I found it right away by typing "php mysqli" into ff3's awesome bar. Awesome indeed.

If you use the function search tool on php.net and search for "mysqli_connect" or even hit php.net/mysqli_connect it takes you to mysql_connect.

@JayBird, I was using the www. subdomain and no subdomain. The two you posted were uk and uk3. Try using us* (either us, us1, etc). They do not resolve properly.
