Just to give a brief user feedback. Not sure the above really helps, at
least not right now. Google does not like any of those links. A search
query "site:doc.qt.digia.com/qt-5.1/ QString" returns an empty page, where
is it works as expected with "site:qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.1 QString".
Generally, the best search result for "QString" on Google is from Qt 4.7
and "Qt Platform Abstraction" comes only from
qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtdoc/qpa.html‎ as if QPA was dismissed from 5.1

Using Google for a detailed search is for now, IMHO, the most efficient
approach since it is more powerful than the search in docs in Qt Creator,
plus a direct navigation through pages does not get you to all articles
since some of them do not get linked well for some reasons. The mentioned
Chrome plugin is interesting in that context.

I hope the harmonization steps will make this better. Thanks!
