I don't do searching right now. If my rewrite of the help system into
m-files get accepted, then Octave will generate caches of all help texts
(for 'lookfor'). It will be dead easy to just search these caches from
the help browser, and it'll be quite fast. So, I'm waiting to see what
happens with my rewrite of the help system, before I implement searching
in the help browser.
