Summary: Searching for anything in the Xcode documentation is painfully slow. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Search for something in the documentation, e.g., NSString. Expected Results: Results in less than a second. Actual Results: Results don't show up for 5 seconds or more. Regression: Notes: While I recognize the documentation is relatively large, there are plenty of full-text search engines that can return results very quickly on far larger datasets. For example: Sphinx Search (http://sphinxsearch.com/).
