Devhelp (and weaseling)

I don't have anything to say about houses, dogs or chickens, but I've been doing some small improvements to Devhelp over the last couple of days. Since it's one of the programs I'm using most when working, it's quite rewarding to make it work better. I have a few things that I'd like to get done, like typeahead search in pages and some kind of bookmark or keyword support so that I can get to my most used parts easily. Some great news: Stefan Kost is looking into fixing up gtk-doc to mark up the generated devhelp files a bit better so that we can make use of more information when searching and displaying the docs.

And especially for Micke
Homer: Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals ... except the weasel.

devhelp does do typeahead search in pages for quite a while, doesn't it?

Well, not really. You can search for a string once, but not go to the next or previous hit or change the search string easily. I'd like to add a firefox style search bar.
