TPersistent: Help me Danny

Maybe I am daft, but ever since HTML help was introduced with the Galileo IDE, I can’t find much in the way of help.  I often configure later versions of Delphi to invoke the D7 help so I can find what I need.  That version of help was apparently put together by Danny Thorpe, so hitting F1 in the D7 IDE would bring up a topic for the current selected identifier in the editor.

So why is it that 11 years later, with technology marching forward, that I can’t do the same thing in XE4?  I quite often can’t even locate items by searching for them.  Despite selecting filter to prevent .NET and Visual Studio related material, I still get nothing relevant to Delphi or “RAD Studio”.  Take for instance the results of these screen shots searching for refactoring information.

Google seems to provide much better results in a shorter search timeframe…
