"Maybe I should dedicate the next six months of my life to producing a meaningful index to the UK FAR/AIM so folks can find what they are looking for"
SNAP!
This came up on t'other thread about Notams too.
"Plain text" searches, context searches - all remarkably straightforward and would help no end in finding the information you want - and they're not 21st century things...
Infact, the cheap and cheerful way to do it would be for NATS/AIS/CAA to allow Google et al to catalogue their pages then you could type your query into Google and it would find the answer (from any/all of those sources - even PDFs)
Edit: In the example solution above even the (already tenuous) "3rd party data" worries are a non-issue, because the search engine will be pointing at the
source.
But there's probably a really good reason they won't allow that to happen...
