Again, that would be nicer done with an inline search box. We don't have

drawback of ^F working is that all symbols are there in sight.

Vladimir, do you think you could easily implement such an incremental 
search box (with autocompletion)?

Sorting can be done, I thought natural order would impart some logic to 
the list.

words at the top of most pages.
