BTW I found no mention of pg_temp in the doc page here:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/ddl-schemas.html

Apparently the only mention of pg_temp is in the CREATE FUNCTION page.

That's probably not a good omission.  Any ideas as to where further
mentions should go?

Cheers,

It's also described under the search_path GUC.

Hmm, we have another problem then, which is that GUC vars are not
showing in the search results when you search for their names.  For
example if I search for search_path I am suggested 
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/ddl-schemas.html#DDL-SCHEMAS-PATH
but nothing else.

Oh, I see the problem .. the index entry is "search_path configuration
parameter".  I think it would be better if it were

search_pathconfiguration parameter

I think mentioning it in the page I link to above would be good.  I
can't think of any further places on which it should be mentioned.

Seems like what you are describing is a bug in the search engine,
not a problem we must address by doubling the vertical space needed for
literally hundreds of index entries.

Yeah, perhaps ...  I think it should suggest all index entries that
start with the search string, not necessarily equal.

Magnus? :-)
