 @60ead002 I am once again disappointed that this sort of documentation server isn't available by default in cargo - where it can include documentation A) for the correct version of your packages, and B) over a loopback address (fast!)

 @f3c16413 Isn't that what cargo doc --open does? No need for a server, it's just static HTML

 @60ead002 search?

 @f3c16413 yep search is all client side. You can also do rustup doc --std to open the local copy of the standard library docs.

 @60ead002 right - yet we still go for the online edition. Why is local documentation not the first pick? For me I suspect it’s just habit of looking things up via search engines.

 @f3c16413 I use the local docs for the standard library (I have the tab open right now) because it opens the version that match the version of rust you're using in the project you run the command from.

As for online docs, yeah I dunno 😅 although in this specific instance I was poking around the docs of a crate in order to link to them in a comment, so needed the online URL.
