Subject: [PATCH 1/6] ENH: Add type-dependent class to search result entries
This allows styling different types of results individually.
It's helpful to visually distinguish different content types.
This PR adds `context` to the javascript result entries
(one of "title", "index", "object", "text") and adds
them as a classes context-title, context-index, context-object,
context-text to the
item in the result list.
This allows styling via CSS.
The basic theme only contains the mechanism to add the HTML
classes. It does intentionally not do any styling via CSS.
We reserve that freedom to derived themes.
For the internal sphinx13 theme, I've styled with unicode
symbols, which should give a decent look without the need
to ship our own symbols.

+Styling with CSS
+----------------
+The **stylesheets** setting allows to add custom CSS files to a theme.
+
+The structure of the HTML elements and their classes are currently not a
+well-defined public API. Please infer them from inspecting the built HTML
+pages. While we cannot guarantee full stability, they tend to be fairly
+stable.
+
+Styling search result entries by category
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. versionadded:: 8.0
+
+The search result items have classes indicating the context in which the
+search term was found. You can use the CSS selectors:
+
+- ``ul.search li.context-index``:
+ If the search term is found in an index such as the glossary
+- ``ul.search li.context-object``:
+ If the search term a code object such as a python function
+- ``ul.search li.context-text``:
+ If the search term is found in plain documentation text
+- ``ul.search li.context-title``:
+ If the search term is found in a heading
+
+The basic theme is intentional minimal and does not use them for styling.
+Derived themes are encouraged to use these selectors as they see fit.
+For example, the following code would add context-dependent icons to the
+search result list:
+
+.. code-block:: css
+
+ ul.search {
+ padding-left: 30px;
+ }
+ ul.search li {
+ padding: 5px 0 5px 10px;
+ list-style-type: "\25A1"; /* Unicode: White Square */
+ }
+ ul.search li.context-index {
+ list-style-type: "\1F4D1"; /* Unicode: Bookmark Tabs */
+ }
+ ul.search li.context-object {
+ list-style-type: "\1F4E6"; /* Unicode: Package */
+ }
+ ul.search li.context-title {
+ list-style-type: "\1F4C4"; /* Unicode: Page Facing Up */
+ }
+ ul.search li.context-text {
+ list-style-type: "\1F4C4"; /* Unicode: Page Facing Up */
