Description
Code
https://docs.rs/bevy/latest/bevy/index.html
Reproduction Steps
- open https://docs.rs/bevy/latest/bevy/index.html
- type
solari,sceneorpicking - see how results show concrete types, but not
bevy::solarietc. directly
Expected Outcome
It should treat workspace crates as modules when they're not top-level, allowing them to appear in search results
Actual Output
Search does not show results for workspace crates like bevy::solari, bevy::scene, etc.
Version
docs.rs build: 34a12160ded44b303795066b8c53e4bdae865e51 2026-08-11 but i'm pretty sure thats irrelevant
Additional Details
At bevy we've put a lot of effort into crate/module-level docs. Solari is a bad example of this which i only chose due to its unique name and few public items. bevy::scene, bevy::picking, bevy::ecs are better examples that really show why its a pretty rough corner that its hard for people to find these docs.
