Suggestions for the online documentation

Since I had trouble finding something that should have been easy ... some thoughts about the online documentation:

Can there be an option to limit search results to names of keywords, classes, methods, and properties?
When entering multiple words, an option to require all words within a topic? (I'm not sure how to define topic, but maybe there's a logical way?)
Is there a way to see the hierarchy? Clicking on a search result sometimes puts me in the middle of a topic that isn't irrelevant to what I'm looking for. For example something specific to a web project when I'm working on a desktop project. If I clear the search, it shows a table of contents which is helpful. But then I've lost the search results.
The examples have a Copy to clipboard button, but the content often cannot be pasted into the IDE because they contain the keyword Sub. Having prior experience with X, I can figure out where the code needs to go. But if Objo is targeting inexperienced programmers I think this will be confusing.

Thanks.

Thanks. These are all useful suggestions! I’ve split them into four feature requests so I can implement and track them independently:

For multi-word searches, I think requiring every word should be the default: adding another word ought to narrow the results. I’ll also look at clearly distinguishing Desktop, Web, language, and standard-library results, particularly when pages or sections have generic names such as Button, Properties, or Events.

The copying issue is especially important for inexperienced programmers. When an example is intended for an event or method body, the copied block should contain only that body. Complete Sub or Function declarations will remain where they teach declaration syntax or form part of a complete example, but their intended destination will be clearly labelled.

Thanks for taking the time to describe the problems so precisely 🙂
