Thread: set search_path documentation missing from development docs

I was trying to look at the documentation for set search_path and there
isn't anything under the set command in the sql command documentation.
In the the data definition section on schemas there is a link to such
documentation, but there is no matching fragment name in the referenced
page.
The link is:
http://developer.postgresql.org/docs/postgres/functions-misc.html#SET-SEARCH-PATH

This is from section 2.8.3 of the User's Guide.

I was able to find the information I was looking for, so I expect that
something got moved and the link wasn't updated. The information is
currently under database configuration where the different variables are
covered systematically.

I think the intent was just to point to the current_schema() and related
functions.  I've tweaked the link to reference the whole section, rather
than a single unlabeled paragraph.
