I'm not hugely excited about Google products in general due to their 
corrosively broad erosion of privacy in society (same thing goes for 
Facebook's platform in my opinion). But given that you've found Google Docs 
efficient for producing quality documentation, great. Having good 
documentation is really helpful.

However, I agree with Zhoyun Wei that I find the Google Docs solution 
difficult to search against all the beancount documentation when I'm 
looking for something.

Is there an easy way to search beancount's documentation within Google Docs?

Thanks!
