set/frozenset methods intermixed in search, wrong results and target page anchor #113746
Closed as duplicate
Description
Searching for update shows these results:
https://docs.python.org/3.13/search.html?q=update
The search result list includes frozenset.update, which is false: frozenset does not have such method.
I guess this is due to the fact that on the target page https://docs.python.org/3.13/library/stdtypes.html#frozenset.update, set and frozenset are explained together, but the search indexer doesn't catch it.
#frozenset.update is even the working page anchor, while #set.update is not. More confusion.
Further, I'm guessing that this will be happening with more class groups documented together.

hey @tuttle I would like to work on it. In which file I have to make changes?

Thanks! Anyway, I don't know, I'm sorry. :-)
Just reporting what I found out.
In my opinion, first you need to decide whether to modify either the search indexer or the source documentation.
