Love it. One thought - have standardized CSS listed first. I type in "background" and get "-webkit-background-composite" as a first result. I'd probably want to see just "background" come up, followed by declarations less popular. Regardless of this minor issue, I'll be using this regularly. Thanks for this!

The query is a regex, so background$ gets you what you want.

Nice, but a few UX nitpicks: * Default to sort by relevence: Put the more relevant matching properties at the top. For example, I type "backg" instead the highest result being the obscure "-webkit-background-composite" ... actually most relevant result "background" which should be the first result instead of the third. * Default results list to condensed format: Instead of showing the full verbose docs for every matc…

Agree, however if there is a single result (such as a background$ query), then show in expanded format.

Nice! It's great that it has detailed version support info, like: *Support for multiple, comma-separated, background images was added in Gecko 1.9.2.* but I wish it showed what fraction of web users that represents. Maybe with a little green/red fuel gauge icon.

The OP said he's pulling the data from MDN (Mozilla Dev Network I think?), which means all the comments are only going to be Firefox-related. What I would want is for it to show all browsers and what version the feature is available in (but if he's automating the data pull, this probably isn't going to happen I imagine).

FYI: MDN is a wiki. Feel free to add information about other browsers. It's meant to be docs for the web, and that includes more than just Firefox.
