Description:
The MySQL manual has been moved to dev.mysql.com, but the search on www.mysql.com still returns relative links. This means results when searching for "alter table":

  http://www.mysql.com/search/?q=alter+table&lang=en&doc=0&m=o

point to www.mysql.com instead of dev.mysql.com:

  http://www.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/ALTER_TABLE.html

How to repeat:
Use the search function when browsing www.mysql.com:

  http://www.mysql.com/search/?q=alter+table&charset=iso-8859-1

Suggested fix:
Either redirect www.mysql.com/doc/ to dev.mysql.com/doc/, or fix the search engine to return absolute URLs with the correct hostname.

Hi Peter,

Thank you for report. I tested the above example, but all result links point to dev.mysql.com for me.
