New JDK 9 feature: javadoc search box

Love the feature (and the speed).

However the grouping seems off.

Searching for "color"...

Puts "java.awt.color.CMMException" in Types
Puts "java.awt.Color.brighter()" in Members

If I'm looking for a method containing color I get a very large member
group of nonmatches.
