There should be some way how to tell Javadoc Index Search to search only in javadoc for some platform. Now if user has platforms JDK 1.5 and JDK 1.4 both with assigned javadocs then when searching for class e.g. String he gets all entries twice - one from each JDK. User is probably interested only in one JDK. E.g. there could be an option in Java Platform Manager - maybe checkbox 'Use Javadoc in Javadoc Index Search'?
