Description David King 2014-01-29 16:03:32 UTC 
When searching for GTK+ API, such as "gtk_widget_hide", the first match is an old GTK+ 2.6 API reference:

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=gtk_widget_hide&t=epiphany
https://encrypted.google.com/search?hl=en&q=gtk_widget_hide

which links to:

http://www.gtk.org/api/2.6/gtk/GtkWidget.html

I do not know the reason that such an old version is documented, and where it is linked from (LSB stuff maybe?), but it would be great to avoid indexing it.

Yeah, lsb is what I remember as the reason for this being present.
