If I am not mistaken, there are not so many functions or procedures in
Sage - for the simple reason that most functionality in Sage is (as
usual in Python) provided by methods and not functions.

If you put the whole name class.method(), sorted by the name of the
class, then I guess it would be difficult to find the stuff. But I
could imagine that an index of the following structure could be
useful:
  factor()
      sage.rings.integer.Integer
      sage.symbolic.expression.Expression
      ...
  gcd()
      ...

I.e., the index would be sorted by the name of the methods, and then
all classes providing that method are listed.

But in general, I am quite happy with the possibility to search the
manual.

Cheers,
Simon
