help?> IteratorSize
search: IteratorSize Iterators IteratorEltype iterate

Couldn't find IteratorSize
Perhaps you meant IteratorSize or Iterators
  No documentation found.

  Binding IteratorSize does not exist.

The suggestion should probably read "Perhaps you meant Base.IteratorSize or Iterators", as otherwise what's going wrong is a bit unclear. Something similar may also be needed for the terms displayed in the first line after search:.

This seems to be because names now includes public bindings, not only exported bindings. I think this could be fixed by amending the accessible function in the REPL stdlib to add isexported to the filtering and restore the original behavior.

Qualify public, unexported bindings in REPL help (#52524)
95df060 
Fixes #52472, which was caused by `names` being changed to also return
public, unexported symbols in #50105. Note that this restores previous
behavior. A case could be made to instead add the public, unexported
bindings as suggestions with the appropriate qualification.

Not entirely sure how to test this so I'd welcome any suggestions.
