Esri's online help is excellent. However, finding the right information for your current version is a nightmare. Here is a screenshot of a typical search engine result:

0EME0000000TeOi

Quite often the first results take you to old versions of the software/help. Why can the help system not have a single landing page for each topic, with the ability to *change the version*. Here is an example how *another* software company does this:

As a second step, would be great if the website just remembers what "your" current version is, without having to change it around everytime.

Thanks.

We added a version switcher to the ArcGIS Pro online help several releases ago.

As far as search engine results, we cannot control which version the search engine gives you.

However, when you search from within ArcGIS Pro, it always takes you to the correct version of the help
