Without a good search feature these are really hard to use. Searching should be
the first priority. Can’t we just make a little script to put on the server
which searches the original indexed format which the HTML is derived from? It
would be so easy to make something that’s cheap but at least works.
Un4seen have a pretty good documentation browser:

From what it looks like, this is built on the CHM format files? If one could
figure out what they use, maybe that would be a step in the right direction?
The CHM manual generation is as problematic as the indexing itself.
And the CHM search index is generated by Windows on first use, as far as I know.

Can you explain what you think is wrong with or missing in the official

(apart from a search mechanism)
Some sort of interlinking between the manuals would be nice (see how it works
for the different BASS libraries, for example). I have still not figured out
where exactly the dividing line between the Reference and Programmer's Guide is,
You must make a distinction between the unit reference and the language
reference/programmer's guide.
The unit references are fully interlinked. The programmer's guide and
language reference are 2 separate documents which are indeed not
interlinked. They never were designed to be interlinked:
The programmer's guide contains advanced topics, which the beginning
programmer does not need at all.
