The tree is expanded by default now (Sven Panne made the change a few days ago). I take your point about searching in Mozilla - I'm a big fan of Firefox's incrememtal search too. The problem I was originally trying to solve is when you have a huge number of instances for a datatype (look at the docs for Prelude, for example), which makes it hard to navigate the page. I'm not sure if we can solve this *and* have searching do the right thing.
