Very useful indeed.
The categories seem right to me. Looks like you've got:
1. types (integer, date)
2. keywords (limit, where)
3. concepts (joins, operators)
Can't think of any other categories, just more entries in each. I think it
might prove useful to identify weaknesses in the docs since if it doesn't
index well it probably needs reworking.
The only thing that struck me was the fact that lines like "see macaddr"
aren't clickable, but presumably that's down to the stylesheet.
Again - if I can be of any use, just holler.
