IMHO, dpldocs.info is the only version that gets all of this 
right. Search easily accessible at the top of the page, module 
contents listed in a sidebar on the left, and detailed pages on 
each symbol for easy navigation and cross-referencing.

Mostly I access it via duckduckgo's !dpldocs bang [1], which lets 
me type search queries directly into my browser's address bar, or 
a shell script I've bound to vim's `K` command (which looks up 
the identifier under the cursor). It's super convenient.
