Description

The search feature has poor performance. Some important APIs (for example, clientOnly and ParentProps) that should appear in the search results are missing.

Also, there have been requests for the ability to search within normal text and code blocks. This functionality would be helpful for users looking to find examples of specific API usage.

Certain API options, such as deferStream, are also not searchable. This can be addressed by using headings to document API options instead of tables. This is being implemented gradually.

Research direction

Start with the search feature and review related issues 987, 109, 1364, and 706 for context and prior discussion. Determine which missing APIs, text and code blocks, and API options are in scope, then verify that the affected content is searchable without regressing existing results.
