Open up the index.htm from your Oracle 11g docs in your favorite HTML/text
editor and comment out these lines near the top:

<!--<div class="simple_search_form_container" style="margin-bottom: 5px;">
<div>
<form class="simple_search_form"
action="http://www.oracle.com/pls/db111/search"; method="get"><input
type="hidden" name="remark" value="quick_search" /> <span><input type="text"
id="s_word" name="word" value="" class="search_field" /></span> <span
class="text"><label for="s_word"><span style=" display:
none;">Search:</span></label> <input type="submit" value="Search"
class="text" /></span></form>
</div>
<div class="shortcut_links"><a
href="http://www.oracle.com/pls/db111/ranked?advanced=1";
target="_top">Advanced Search</a> &bull; <a href="nav/portal_3.htm"
target="_top">Master Book List</a> &bull; <a href="mix.111/b14387/toc.htm"
target="_top">Master Index</a> &bull; <a href="mix.111/b14388/toc.htm"

</div> -->

That'll get rid of the search.  Then you can use the sometimes-working
Windows file search or grep on your local repository.  At a former job, I
used a local install of the OracleSearch crawler to do it and it worked
fairly well.

I thought that an old version of the docs (8i or 9i?) used to do the search
locally via Java or JS, but I'm not 100% on that.  The offsite replacement
works better, but some note on the page that the search is not local should
exist, IMHO.
