Searching i.e. for "vec -> vec" returns Vec::new as search result.

Without the self type as the lhs of the U -> T there is no way to search for "all methods that produce T" (i.e. -> vec and similar don't work) perhaps something like * -> T and/or void -> T should be added before this is fixed?

doc pages: add the ability to search unknown types
2fd7701 
This enables `*` in all type positions in doc searches, which I often
want in order to find functions that create or convert specific
types (e.g. `* -> vec`) but I don't actually know what kinds of input
they expect.

I actually started working on this because of rust-lang#31598, but I've wanted it
several times when exploring new crates.
