In theory, the index might be an adequate substitute for search. But not every
property is listed. 'itemCreationPolicy', for example, isn't. I wonder how many
others are missing, hope I don't find out when I really need it.

Even if it's only that the docs are transparent to search engines, so we can use
Google, that might be something. But an incomplete index, unsearchable content,
and no search field... well it's just not very usable. Search is essential.

Thanks for listening.
