Recently, searches at developer.apple.com on class names, such as
"NSButton", no longer turn up hits about classes, such as the NSButton
class. In other words, documents like this one seem to have been taken
completely out of the eligible search results:

<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/ApplicationKit/Cla
sses/NSButton_Class/Reference/Reference.html>

Even searching on the words "NSButton Class Reference" (the title of the
document) don't turn up that document in the results. Searching on
"showsBorderOnlyWhileMouseInside" (an NSButton method) yields just two
results, neither of them being this document. This must be a new
development, because I used to do this kind of thing quite regularly. Of
course I know where the docs are, but for beginners it must be hard to read
TFM if you can't even *find* TFM... m.

I usually use Google for keyword searches, even if I'm only interested in results from one particular site. The "site:" feature at Google is useful for that. For instance, when I search for "NSButton site:developer.apple.com" (without the quotes), the above class reference is the first result.
