Practical Scala reference manual, for searching things like method names

Question

Inspired by Haskell API Search Engine I begun to wonder what is the right way of finding names of things in Scala library. For example let's assume I need some string substation, like search and replace. StringOps has no such thing. Google doesn't help either, because these terms are very general, and manually traversing documentation isn't much fun.

My question is, where do experts look when they are seeking a particular function?

This should be practical enough to use it in everyday work.

I suggest using the Reference Index
