Over the last few months, when you search for a certain obspy function, class or object in google, the search result never shows the official documentation. Instead, some tutorials, discussions, github issues appear at the top of the list of results. It is annoying …

Ah indeed, I noticed it also very recenty! Do we have anti-bot countermeasures that might be a little too harsh?

I don’t think there is much we can do there. But there is several things you can do to improve the situation:
- you can try out [zeal](https://zealdocs.org/) or [dash](https://kapeli.com/dash) and feed them our [docsets](https://docsets.obspy.org/)
- in most browsers you can register search engines with a search prefix in your address bar. for searching obspy docs you can use e.g. `http://docs.obspy.org/master/search.html?q=%s&check_keywords=yes&area=default` as the URL and if you bind it to let’s say search prefix “o” you can type in your address bar “o instrument correction” and it will search our docs for these terms
- finally, well, simple, failsafe but least convenient, just bookmark our docs landing page and use the search box there 😉
