Description
For example:
https://docs.rs/xilem/0.4.0/xilem/?search=memoize
https://docs.rs/xilem/0.4.0/xilem/?search=vello
These queries return no resuts. But memoize is a part of xilem_core which is re-exported as core. And vello is a re-export under the re-export masonry.
I didn't know whether to report this here, or as a rustdoc issue. But this is a case that kind of sets between rustdoc invoked with and without --no-deps, which may only be relevant to docs.rs.

Research direction
Reproduce the two docs.rs search URLs from the issue and compare how rustdoc search handles re-exports with and without --no-deps. Determine whether the missing results belong in rustdoc or docs.rs, then verify that searches for memoize and vello find the re-exported items.
