I think you're missing at least part of my point. I know how to use
Google with a targeted search. The problem is that the amount of text
surrounding a match that Google returns is often insufficient to
determine if it's what I want, whereas scanning through the whole
manual in a browser automatically returns an entire page of context
(if I want it).

Many people don't have reliable broadband always available.

You have told us about your personal preferences, which is entirely
legitimate. But my personal preferences are that I really, really
don't like using wiki-only documentation.
