In retrospect, the probable reason I can't find 'itemCreationPolicy' in the index is that it's probably a part of the MXML-only states syntax, not unlike 'includeIn' or 'excludeFrom'[1].
(OT: So how do you find whether a property is MXML-interpreted syntax or a bona-fine class property, other than from experience?) That still doesn't change the fact that the docs are not search-engine searchable. I should be able to google-introspect the content. Can't you guys just do some simple robots.txt or some other SEO tweak, without waiting a dog's age for Adobe to donate a simple search field?
