New submission from Jonathan Fine :
The docs contain a very useful page https://docs.python.org/3.5/glossary.html. However, the search feature does not index the glossary.
Thus, the search https://docs.python.org/3.5/search.html?q=iterable does not produce the helpful glossary entry

#788509 is the only docs issue I could find, whose title contains glossary. It gives insight into the thoughts then about the tutorial. In msg44460 Skip Montaro says (1) that the glossary is "for the tutorial", and (2) he'd like to improve links into the tutorial.
I suggest that part of the fix for this issue is on the home page page Glossary in the first grouping "Parts of the documentation."
