Why would you object to anyone doing a text search on the docs?  That
seems like it would be a very convenient benefit of having text-based
documentation in a unified tree.  Plan 9's intentional choice to use
text-based mechanisms no doubt anticipated synergies such as this.  I
don't know about you, but I regularly search my mailbox files using
grep.  That's one of the reasons why I chose a MUA which stores messages
in plain text.  They're more useful, that way.
