You will be pleased to hear then, that we've developed - in FPC - a search

Excellent. How fast does it do searching across the RTL and FCL HTML
docs? Does it need to first build a search/keyword database?
It does. This is a one-time operation.
I remember using Tipue (www.tipue.com/) years ago with fpdoc generated
HTML. But the search / keyword database was *huge*, causing relatively
slow searching, and a real pain to generate that search database or
keep it up to date.
The time depends on the back-end, but all back-ends returned results
in less than 0.7 sec. Considering the size of the databases involved,
this is OK.
Currently there are 3 backends: custom made, sqlite and Interbase.
No surprise, the custom made one is fastest.
Michael.
