Offline Qubes documentation + synchronized database of Qubes GitHub issues

General Discussion

Hi,
Would it be a good idea for Qubes to include all offline documentation + all reported GitHub issues, which would be accessible via a local search engine?

For example, I had a problem updating Qubes 4.3 on-site—an error was displayed saying that the updater wanted to remove a protected dnf package.
I found the solution to this problem on GitHub.
What if Qubes had a search engine where I could paste the error message and then get the solution from a comment on GitHub?

Another problem I encountered was the complete corruption of a Windows virtual machine caused by uninstalling QWT.
I wanted to restore a snapshot and remembered that the command contained the phrase “revert.” What if I could type the phrase “revert” into an offline search engine and it would find the command I needed, along with a reference to the offline documentation?

There is a related issue, covering part of what you’re asking:

Qubes OS doesn’t include the documentation but you can build it locally or download offline formats like:
