Comment:
The current state:
As mentioned above, the ''Modules'' tab supports search in keywords, names
and descriptions. In trunk (for 7.4), there is also ''Advanced search''
button which open G7:g.search.modules which is available since 7.2 and can
do full text search in manual pages.
Also, there is Google search on the main website which needs change from
`http://` to `https://` and searches through the website and all
documentation.

Sphinx is used for Python documentation and has search (which has full
text):

Doxygen is used for C documentation which also has its own search (which
doesn't have full text):
