Vladimir, do you think you could easily implement such an incremental
search box (with autocompletion)?
Sorry, that idea does not appeal to me either. Web browsers already have
the function of searching within a page. An in-page search box is not a
common UI element, users would need to learn to use it, and that's bad
UX - we should stick to existing UI conventions to avoid forcing the
users to think to get to their dox.
The Ruby documentation shows all core symbols (classes and methods) in
one page with two filters. I like that. It's really useful when you know
the name of the method/class you're looking for. It's also useful for
guessing names. Like, is there a method called "sort". Then you find it
you can figure out if it does what you think it will.
Aha, I now remember - you mentioned this once, really like it.
