Wrt different petsc versions - Its best to disable google from searching old versions.

I've updated robots.txt [it previously had some old values]

>>>
petsc at es:/mcs/web/research/projects/petsc$ cat robots.txt
User-agent: *
Disallow: bin
Disallow: old
Disallow: mirror
Disallow: NCSA-UIUC
Disallow: petsc-3.*
Disallow: petsc4py-3.*
Disallow: petsc-dev
Disallow: petsc-master
Disallow: style.css
>>>>

[Assuming the above is not buggy]  it should primarily index petsc-current and petsc4py-current

Wrt PetscMatlabEngine - duckduckgo finds
https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-current/docs/manualpages/Sys/PETSC_MATLAB_ENGINE_.html
but not:
https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-current/docs/manualpages/Sys/PetscMatlabEngine.html

So something is weird wrt search [within the same version]
