Why is there no navigation to more docs from a page like this? https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/cfml-reference/coldfusion-functions/functions-by-category/string-functions.html I came here from Right (https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/cfml-reference/coldfusion-functions/functions-m-r/right.html), and wanted to go to cfouath, but i dont see a way to navigate 'up' the doc tree. And the search box does not work correctly. Searching for cfoauth finds one response thats a bug fix report, not the actual CFM reference

it's never occurred to me how bad that is... i guess i always just do a google search on "cfoauth" and almost always the top link is the Adobe result i need.

Constant headache to have to deal with the helpx architecture. We lost an entire set of sub-levels when we moved there. The scale and scope of this is huge.

We do not blame you, @Mark Takata (Adobe); we blame the system. Unfortunately, you are its public figurehead.

Its all good, its my job both to take the heat, but also to do what I can to change things internally. Your feedback is valuable, and I truly believe documentation is a critical component of any ecosystem. We have a long way to go to get it where it needs to be, but I'd dedicated to getting it there.

@Mark Takata (Adobe) can the CF team drop helpx and just contribute to cfdocs instead?

I complained about this a month ago while trying to figure out PMT. Finally gave up.
