It's not clear that the search field only searches file names

[peterflynn]

1. Type "getSelection" in the upper right field

Result: nothing happens

Expected: searches the docs for the text "getSelection"
It looks like the search field only searches the file and path names.

Until it's possible to have richer search, we should change the UI to clarify what this search field does and doesn't cover. Maybe changing the prompt text from "Search..." to "Search for module name" would be enough?

In the future it sure would be sweet to have real full-text search, though :-D

Hey @peterflynn, I thought about this when I first implemented the search functionality, but couldn't do a lot more than that.

I'd like to revisit this for the 0.5 milestone. What would you expect from the search? Just modules and methods/properties search? In the case we did full text... how would you like information to be presented? I'm guessing we'd need to add some kind of context to the search result entries...

Do you have any reference of what you'd want to achieve? (I find http://yuilibrary.com/ to be a good example of this...)
