      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      I use the documentation on this site and the same site for previous versions, quite often. I am a seasoned Java developer and usually know exactly which class I want documentation on. If, for example, I want documentation on ResourceBundle, I hate having to scroll well down into the allclasses frame to find 'ResourceBundle' in the alphabetically ordered list. Of course, I could always narrow the number in the allclasses frame by selecting the correct package in the overview frame. But I'm too lazy to do all that scrolling.

      But what if there was a box where I could start entering the name of the class I want documentation on. As I type, the index of available classes narrows to only those that match the pattern I'm typing. By the time I type 'resou' I have narrowed the available classes down to 'ResourceBundle' only and I can get to the doc I want quickly.
