But if I option-double-click on something like
"CFBundleTypeExtensions", Xcode opens the help window and then shows
nothing (or worse, shows what was shown before).
Option-double-click does an API search, which means there needs to be
a symbol with that name. Text that has no associated symbol won't
show a result, even if a full-text search would find something (as in
this case).
You can option-double-click, then switch the search type (using the
buttons on the left side of the search bar) to "Full-Text", and it
will immediately show any text-based results.
You mention not liking the fact that the previous documentation
doesn't get cleared if there is no search result. We're open to
changing that, but not certain people would want to lose their
previously found documentation if their current search fails. If
people want to give me their opinion off-list, we'll give it some
consideration.

Surely that string appears in the docs somewhere? I'm finding that a
lot of strings I would expect to turn up something, in fact turn up
very little. Am I misunderstanding something?
