Feedback on the new doclet.

[Paul Benedict]

Thank you Jon. One thing I recommend for improvement is removing the
automatic highlighting of the first item in the search box results. First,
the highlighting is gray so I first mistook it for a specialized header --
but it was really just the item selected. I think a yellowish color would
be better. Regardless, I don't think the automatic highlighting should be
done until I roll over or navigate with the keyboard.

Cheers,
Paul
