If you miss the "Table of Contents" pane in the Xcode 4 documentation
viewer, attached is a script you can turn into a service to get to the
web class reference.
- open Automator, and create a new Service named GoogleSearch
- drag an AppleScript into the right pane, which should have "Service
receives Text in Any Application"
- replace the Applescript shell with this:
on run {input, parameters}
set search_object to input
tell application "Safari" to activate
set new_url to
"http://www.google.com/search?q=site:developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation";
& " " & "\"" & search_object & " Class Reference" & "\""
tell application "Safari" to make new document with properties
{URL:new_url}
tell application "System Events"
set frontmost of process "Safari" to true
end tell
end run
- save it.
Now in an Xcode 4 edit window, select some class like NSString, then
from the Xcode menu select Google Search.
Safari comes to the front with the first search item being Apple's
NSString Class Reference. Click on it - now you have NSString with the
Full Table of Contents on the left.

PS: alternately download it from https://public.me.com/dhoerl - in the
Xcode folder. You can verify the script by opening the file in Automator.
