The following bug has been logged on the website:
Bug reference: 17311
Logged by: Thomas Güttler
Email address: guettliml@thomas-guettler.de
PostgreSQL version: Unsupported/Unknown
Operating system: web
Description:
If I google for "postgresql unique constraint", then I see "Documentation:
9.4".
Why does google prefer the outdated version?
I guess someone with more SEO-knowledge than I have could find the
relevant
html-meta data which is needed to point google (and the users) to the
current
version of the docs.
I see this since years, and I guess you have noticed it, too.

Yes, we've noticed. Every attempt at fixing this so far has however failed,
the archives of the pgsql-www mailinglist will most likely turn up quite a few
discussions on this.

Same happens here. My guess is a lot of people do click it and, then,
if they know it, go to the relevant version through the links in the
page, and google does not see the click and thinks the page is
inmensely popular and relevant.
The same happens with lot of other things, one of my top jujel wishes
is "remember I selected last year in search options".
