Feature Proposal: It would be really neat if search results contained links to headings, à la Google (or à la Bing/Yahoo)

Motivation

To make the search results more direct/useful.

Description and Documentation

On Google, if you search for something like "australia deposit insurance wikipedia" you see a result like:

---

Deposit insurance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deposit_ insurance

Jump to Australia and New Zealand‎: This measure comes on top of existing mandates of APRA and ASIC to monitor Australian banks and deposit taking ...

---

This allows a direct jump to a heading on a long page which may not have a TOC. Also, it indicates a stronger likelihood that this is exactly the section you are looking for.
