Where can I find searchable documentation for nodered?

General
1

I'm trying to evaluate if nodered can be used for a project.

Functioning documentation is a base requirement for any added dependency.
But I can find no way to search the info here:
https://nodered.org/docs/

That's the whole official documentation for nodered, right?
Is there searchable documentation anywhere else?

What kind of documentation are you looking for?

Yes, this is the official documentation of Node-RED.

I'm looking for the type of documentation, were for example if I want to find the page(s) describing the function "XYZ" I can type XYZ into a search field and get a link directly to that page or pages.

I don't want to manually visit every single page and search for XYZ.

We don't have a built-in search feature on the docs. However it is pretty well indexed by google. A search for site:nodered.org XYZ will find what you want.

Following what @knolleary said:

If I am wanting help with commands/stuff in node-red

I enter:

node-red *what ever I am searching*

And usually get results.

I've been using ChatGPT. It was confused for a while on dashboard vs. dashboard-2, but it just writes all the code for you.

Thanks for the answers.

But we decided not to use nodered after all.
Partially because of the documentation.
