Here, I am not referring to GNU radio. When a documentation is well summarized, and has sections well described, search may not be necessary. Further, when a documentation has a single HTML file, like most GNU software packages have such, generated from Texinfo, such file is easily searched in any browser. There can be also a single text file, and it is easily searched. And in the end, to make a search feature, it should be very simple matter on any web server to make search even without javascript for which license is not known. Simple POST/GET to the small script greping the files may be quick search solution. More complex search engines are such as Hyper Estraier, and many others available. Full self-hosted search feature is good to have on any website. On any search field on the Internet page, the usability and accessibility policies and common sense is not recommending javascript. It breakest standard features of browsing and disables access to many users. Jean Louis
