What’s new on QuadKites.org

The site search has been reworked. It suggests a correction when a word is mistyped and can be narrowed to one kind of content: guides, videos, figures or PDFs. Each result shows the passage that answers your search, tells you which section it belongs to and takes you straight there. Open it with the magnifying glass at the top of the page, or Ctrl K (⌘ K on a Mac).
