Janko,

Good idea! It can fix quite a few gaps in Squeak's browsers.

Free format string search is tedious in Squeak. Web-based search for strings 
in code/doc would be faster.

If you are going to parse and index the source code, a wiki-style interface 
would be a better option than a read-only browsing page. A wiki not only 
makes submission of patches/corrections easy, but also keeps the discussion 
thread along with the change.

BTW, most instance/class methods are small, so they can be included directly 
while listing method names. Definitions are easier to understand if closely 
related method sources appear in the same page.
