Awesome, thanks for the tips! I've tweaked the way it interprets searches for methods - so Native.method searches now return good results. I've also removed 'this' from the blacklist - but we need to improve the results we return for such a query.
I like the idea of listing the category a result is from - I will consider implementing that. This week we will mostly concentrate on categories - such as 'working with the DOM' or 'Effects and animations' - hopefully this will make it even easier to narrow your search down to exactly what you were after.
