Description
did a search for "unchecked" and found this confusing snippet:
this the SliceIndex trait method.
additionally, perhaps implementations of trait methods should be deprioritized during name-based search?

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Reproduce the rustdoc search for "unchecked" and inspect how the SliceIndex trait method is presented alongside inherent methods. Done means trait implementations are distinguished from inherent methods and any intended ranking change is defined and covered by tests.
