Hi Nicolas,

I ran into this issue too very recently when I wanted to search for
":eval". Details below.

In the Org 9.1 version manual, it was possible to search ":eval" and find
what I was looking for. In 9.2 manual, very few of the header arguments are
documented with the colon prefix. So searching is not consistent any more.

I was able to do this earlier.. open Org Info manual, C-s :eval, keep on
C-s as it found *all hits* in the manual. Now in 9.2, the only hits are in
(org) Exporting Code Blocks, which is not very useful.

Can we prefix all the header arg references in the manual with ":" so that
while searching, I can easily find the (org) Evaluating Code Blocks node? I
was having trouble finding this node as "eval" is too generic of a string..
thankfully I remembered the "never-export" value, searched for that and
found that node.

Thanks for that tip! I guess I need to use the "i" approach more often than
the plain old C-s. But I confirm that with "i" followed by "header
argument", it presents a nice list of all arguments in the Ivy interface.
