link to API doesn't seem to work

[eriklovlie]

In this page the following link is used several times:

https://www.scala-lang.org/api/current/index.html#index.index-_

I'm not entirely sure what should be happening but at least in my browser (firefox 70.0.1 on windows) the page I'm taken to doesn't seem to do what the above page states:

index page for identifiers not starting with letters

I have also encountered this issue, on firefox 71.0. I believe it may be a vestigial link from v2.10-2.11, when this operation was supported. e.g. v2.10.0. I was unable to find a similar page in the current API docs.

This could be replaced with an instruction directing the reader to use the search bar at the top of the current API version, which would produce a url dependent on their search like so:
https://www.scala-lang.org/api/current/scala/collection/index.html?search=%

Would this be an appropriate change?

@chloecollins yes, I agree that's the right solution

(and, sorry for not replying for so long! I guess this fell between the cracks over the holidays)
