doc pages: add the ability to search unknown types

This enables `*` in all type positions in doc searches, which I often
want in order to find functions that create or convert specific
types (e.g. `* -> vec`) but I don't actually know what kinds of input
they expect.

I actually started working on this because of #31598, but I've wanted it
several times when exploring new crates.
