I would suggest to launch it asap!
Search can be added later. The navigation helps a lot and I don't miss 
the search too much. I know I can use Yelp to search.

The user manual of some apps, like Geary, are not available on 
help.gnome.org. I can't remember the reason now, but I think it 
happened when switching to Meson. It would be great to have them again, 
since we can point new users to specific pages of the documentation.
