Arguably the most useful godoc results are packages, followed by entities defined within those packages (types, variables, functions, interfaces, and methods). Cross-references are sometimes helpful, but rarely what I'm looking for when I'm searching golang.org.
For example, if I search for rand, odds are good I'm looking for the package documentation for either math/rand or crypto/rand. Unfortunately, at the moment there are so many cross-references that the latter result doesn't even appear above the fold.¹
