- Allow selecting subset of docsets to search in (enable/disable docsets, docset groups)
- Grouping of similar results (like overloaded funcdtions)
- Code cleanup
- Refactoring to reuse common code between
ZealDocsetsRegistry

Creating your own docsets
You can use Dash's instructions for generating docsets.
Contributions / Project Status
Any feedback, feature requests, or pull requests are welcome. However the project is not under active development at the moment, so unless someone is interested in contributing code, no new features are expected.
I'm going to continue updating docsets that are part of Dash/Zeal exchange programme, and try to fix critical stability/compatibility issues if any arise, to keep the project somewhat alive, but will not implement new features in foreseeable future. Anyway, I should be able to review pull requests.
Please keep in mind I'm not an experienced C++ programmer, so the code quality might be not great.
