There is a preliminary version of the search facility
now running on the (perliminary) demo site:
Go to http://demo.erlang.org/doc.html and type e.g "keyse"
in the text field in the grey right column, then click the
looking glass button... Comments are welcome.

The same search application should eventually be
possible to run via the OTP webtool application on
your local Erlang/OTP installation as a HTTP 
server on your local host.
