New submission from Jonathan Fine <jfine2...@gmail.com>:

The docs contain a very useful page https://docs.python.org/3.5/glossary.html. 
However, the search feature does not index the glossary.

Thus, the search https://docs.python.org/3.5/search.html?q=iterable does not 
produce the helpful glossary entry
===
iterable
An object capable of returning its members one at a time. Examples of iterables 
include all sequence types (such as list, str, and tuple) and some non-sequence 
types like dict, file objects, and objects of any  [...]
===

#788509 is the only docs issue I could find, whose title contains glossary. It 
gives insight into the thoughts then about the tutorial. In msg44460 Skip 
Montaro says (1) that the glossary is "for the tutorial", and (2) he'd like to 
improve links into the tutorial. 

I suggest that part of the fix for this issue is on the home page page Glossary 
in the first grouping "Parts of the documentation."
