Description

I'm really not sure if it's really possible. If not, I guess I will see this issue closed.

I think a search provider would be really useful for this app, so that you can type something like GtkButton and you can open the app directly in the class documentation.

It would save having to keep the app open all the time to search for specific documentation.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. First determine how Biblioteca launches and handles documentation lookup, then investigate whether GNOME search-provider integration can open matching GtkButton class documentation. Done means a typed class name opens the corresponding documentation, or the limitation is documented.
