* HTML Page titles in HTML version?

I frequently find myself with multiple tabs open to the docs site, all
titled "PosgreSQL: Documentation". Does the new site back-end make it easy
to add a meaningful <TITLE> tag, or would that take a mass commit to the
core docs?

Actually, it *has* the information in the title. E.g. "PostgreSQL:
Documentation: Manuals: Queries". It's just too long.
Maybe we need to reverse the elements in the title?
But I don't think it's limited to docs - don't you have the same
problem with all other pages? They all start with "PostgreSQL:" -
perhaps that should be changed to instead suffix them with "-
PostgreSQL"?
(moving to -www since it affects the whole site)

Yeah, in general it's best practice to post the most specific part of the
title first, so that short tabs will still show the relevant info. Also
used to help with SEO; not sure if it still does, but it might explain why
you don't always get the right page when doing a Google search.

Probably. I've put this on our TODO list for things to do with the
website in a reasonable short term.
(I doubt it has anything to do with SEO though, especially someone
like google are a lot smarter than that)
