I'm totally new to this area, went to docs.opnsense.org, hit many keywords, and found not much.  I'm not sure if this is b/c docs are not there, OR maybe the search/index is broken. 

One suggestion is to go after 10-50 keywords, and make sure that they return the correct docs..  some words that come to mind would be network related like:  sshd, pppoe, multiwan, etc. etc.  these all return almost nothing, or not relevant things.

Same suggestion goes to the Web UI, searching on TOP/right, should find things like: "ssh, secure, etc." and many more that right now return nothing, but they do exist, just hard to find for new comers.  Maybe if it searched ALL the attributes, not just the high-level headers, that would be better? not sure. something to consider maybe.

Yea it feels like its a steep learning curve but i guess thats how it is with everything right  ;). Will have a go at the keywords you suggested mate. Will comment later with what i come up with.
