I hear you about the search functionality of Apple's developer documentation. They definitely need a better search engine for documentation in both Xcode and the developer website as finding things can be iffy at best. They seem to suffer from what I call the 'Dictionary Problem.' You can't find the spelling of a word in a dictionary unless you already roughly know the spelling. Similarly,  you can't find anything in Apple's documentation unless you roughly know where it is.

A couple of recommendations:

1. Use Google search to search developer.apple.com <http://developer.apple.com/>

For example, searching for 'nsobject release' returns the protocol it's defined as the first result, the method documentation as the second.

2. Feel free to encourage Apple to improve their search functionality

Cheers!
