Official documentation can, sadly, only contain so much information. Lots of tools are community driven and there are some niche uses of libraries that official docs don't know about, or including them would just take up space.
Yeah, for sure. I'm mostly saying that she sometimes struggled to even just find an appropriate Hello World example, to the point where she would ask me for help after a while.
Then I, having already gotten used to the terrible search engine results, opened the official documentation directly and had it after a handful of clicks.
Obviously, she understood pretty quickly, but the official documentation doesn't always have a built-in search and can be difficult to navigate, so that's why I'm saying even just a search engine for that could be good...
