@Mark Takata (Adobe) I am trying to search the docs on helpx.adobe.com and none of the tags/functions come up in the search suggestion.

OK that is SUPER weird. I mean, if you hit "search" stuff comes back. I have no idea why they're not showing up in the suggested items though. @saghosh any ideas here? I know we don't really control the overall helpx platform, but is there a setting we need to turn on?

out of curiosity does adobe have a single complete list of tags and functions and what attributes/arguments are supported?

And ideally, the cf version where they were added :)

My life would be significantly easier than it currently is if such a thing existed. We do have this page: https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/cfml-reference/coldfusion-tags.html which purports to list out all tags but the "Tags in ColdFusion 10" link makes me unbearably nervous.

If its possible to get something like that as a file, or maybe even as a page “All Functions” and “All Tags” on the adobe.com docs, it would make life so much better. Do you think that is something that could get accomplished?
It does look like there is a Tags Summary
But no Functions summary

Really more of a question for @saghosh and their team. They are pretty darned busy though, and a project of that scope would take a non-trivial amount of time to plan and execute.

Yeah i would be happy to hear what the teams thoughts are, I mean all of the information is in the docs, just a little spread out, so it makes it a little difficult to find stuff
but part of that difficulty may just be that i wasn’t getting any search results back 🤣

Kind of a copout, but I use CFDocs frequently.

I set up a custom search engine in chrome with the shortcut `cf`:`https://helpx.adobe.com/search-results.html?scope=%5B%22helpx%22%5D&subscope=%5B%5D&[…]c&post_facet_filters=%7B%22applicable_products%22%3A%5B%5D%7D` So then I just type in
cf cfhttp
and 99% of time it's the first result.

There's also these links in vscode that'll bring up the docs directly.

but the vscode links are based off of cfdocs and some of the new tags/functions aren’t in there
I will say for the most common tags its somewhat easy to find documentation, but CF is adding not only new tags/functions, but oftentimes new abilities to existing tags/functions that get missed

I'm hoping when the VS code extension ships, the code hinting will get rid of a LOT of people's needs to search.

do you know if that is going to be a paid extension or free?

Mark Takata (Adobe)

100% free! Not open source (we include some proprietary stuff in there) but free to download and use. Except for @Adam Cameron. He has to pay lol. 🤣 KIDDING.

I'm interested in this too. My IntelliJ subscription comes up for renewal soon, wondering if I'd be happy with the VS Code extensions. I've used IDEA since the early days of their CF implementation, and basically I love it, but we'll see. Clearly though, Adobe's VS Code stuff won't support Lucee...

I really miss the PDF versions of these docs. I travel quite a bit and miss easy access to docs while not connected

OK so: 1. When is VS Code shipping? Soon(tm). Very soon. Within the next few months. A lot of "buttoning things up" rn. 2. Will it support Lucee? No. This is designed to work with ACF (10,11,2016,2018,2021). I mean, you can like... code CFML with it I guess? But the language server is going to suggest ACF functions. It can restart an ACF server. Etc. I'm honestly not sure exactly how limited it will be with Lucee.
