What is the best way to search for a function

Go to dlang.org, select dicumentation, then library reference.
Pick any module, click on it
In the upper right, switch the docs from stable to ddox
Now you can use the search bar and it is interactive. Typing in
indexOf found it right away.
I'm doing some network programming, and have run things down with
casts and all to the point where I have an IPv4 address. The
documentation says it's in "host order", so obviously a 32-bit
number. My C days tell me htonl is what's needed--but it's
nowhere to be found in the API index? I did a search and it's
apparently under core/sys, but "sys" isn't included in the online
documentation?
Doing bulk searches in
/usr/lib/ldc/x86_64-linux-gnu/include/d/core/sys lets me run it
down to three places, of which I'd guess posix/arpa/inet.d is the
one to use.
But this all seems a little bit harder than it might be?
A map of C or Python API's to the Dlang counterpart might be the
easiest way to let people find things.
