It would be nice if javadoc could output a text
file of words to search on, with a link to where
this particular occurence of that word is located.
Here, you would have things like all the function
names, member names, class names, package names,
and also all of these names split up (so
'fillRect()' would produce 'fillRect', 'fill' and
'rect'). Also, you could add a '@keyword' tag, and
allow the developer to add keywords for the search.
This would certainly be invaluable for building
search engines to search through masses of API
docs (the Java 1.2 API is so enormous, that you
really have to know what you're doing to find
exactly what you want!).
Then, if you're bored one day, you could write a
little search applet that plugs into the
documentation pages, and that reads the file
format output by javadoc for the search :)
