Yes, but what search terms do you use for searching if you don't know the 
name of that macro? You cannot reasonably search it by typing in wikitext 
commands that the macro consists of. Instead, one would want to type in 
*descriptive 
terms* to find macros but, beyond a descriptive macro name, such terms are 
not automatically connected to the macro. Showing a list of macros at least 
lets you skim through them...

The HackSearch "SearchDirectory" feature would enable such descriptive 
terms to be connected to specific macros in the dictionary, BUT I don't 
know what good descriptive words that would be appropriate for each 
respective macro. Maybe the community could do it collectively, probably 
relying on a lot of help from the core team that are familiar with the core 
macros, but it still would not let you find e.g community developed macros 
unless they are also manually added to the dictionary. But, of course, if 
you have a recurring set of macros that you know you search for then it is 
simple to (already now!) include them in the SearchDirectory dictionary - 
just add a row, e.g for the color macro it could be:

colour: color coloring styling style styles css CSS
