Description

Currently, search only applies to Term. What would be really useful would be to allow search on Doc content for all Terms.

Example

I want to know what type can be used for unsigned integers.
If I type unsigned in the search bar, I get nothing. While search for the Doc content, you will find Nat type specifically for that.

Research direction

Start by locating the Term-only search implementation and the path that exposes Doc content for Terms. Verify the current behavior with the issue's unsigned example; done when searching unsigned returns the Nat type through its Doc content.
