We have a search and it is excellent. I have it bound to 'e' in my 
browser personally. Check on the right there: http://www.erlang.org/docs

It will only show if you start searches first, and like you many people 
seem to fail to notice it. I get a feeling erldocs.com wouldn't exist if 
it was more prominent.

Not anymore!

It won't get you specific guide pages though, like the typespecs page, 
but you shouldn't have a problem finding functions anymore.
