The tree is expanded by default now (Sven Panne made the change a few
days ago).

I take your point about searching in Mozilla - I'm a big fan of
Firefox's incrememtal search too.

The problem I was originally trying to solve is when you have a huge
number of instances for a datatype (look at the docs for Prelude, for
example), which makes it hard to navigate the page.  I'm not sure if we
can solve this *and* have searching do the right thing.
