That option is usefull sometimes, and not so usefull some other times.
Imagine if you want to check if there exists a method to reduce a
polynomial modulo an ideal. Try to search for "reduce"... and you get
275 links; most of them are not about methods called "reduce" but of
stuff that contains stuff like "reducedscheme" of entries with
"reduced form". I only found two actual methods called .reduce.
Another example is to try to search for "resultant": in that case you
get some good results (namely, methods called .resultant), and after
that, a whole of completely non-related pages of the manual that just
happen to have the word "resultant" in it.

Yes, that was exactly what i had in mind. A list of all the methods
(and also functions), sorted by the name of the method, and links to
the help of the method in question.
