definitively useful, but some feedback:

+ Need a way to do an explicit search. There are a lot of shorthand properties and searching for "border" requires me to scroll way down to find the border reference doc. If I typed border: it should only show me one result.

+ The possible values need to be presented in a list. It is difficult to scan that paragraph to determine what are my options.

+ Make the search box position fixed. Maybe in the header? If no input is present in the search input, show the howto below. Make sure to add a background color to the howto to distinguish from results.

Thanks for the feedback! The search algorithm is very basic right now, and will definitely change to address the "exact match" scenario. The paragraph was a mistake in the template that should be fixed shortly...
I really like how you can actually use regexp to search though: "position" vs "^position".

How about changing the search box heading to something more instructive, more instant, like "Begin typing a CSS property". Also, I'd like to see filters like :hover.

Great job so far!

Yeah, I like it too, but I don't think most people will think of typing "border$" to get just the "border" property :)
A checkbox you can click to do a non-regexp exact match search would be handy.
