Earlier quoted context omitted.

Why print ? It's impossible to search.

Impossible is a bit of a stretch - that both search engines and books contain an index isn't a coincidence.

Databases too have indexes! Almost as if that makes it easier to search for both machines and humans!

Wonderful! I would totally pay for a print copy, for what it's worth!

The idea is that you are gradually building Brain-tree indexes in your grey matter as you read it cover to cover. Whenever you need to look up something again you kinda have a vague idea where to look.

Read book, take notes in your fav notetaking app (like Obsidian for exmaple) - now you have both knowledge and search.

Also the book in question is not really a manual or documentation of some sort.
