create foreign table
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/sql-createforeigntable.html
It would be helpful if "SERVER" was defined if the parameters list
on this page.

We don't usually document required keywords - they're just required.
We do document the meaning of server_name, which I think is probably
what you were after.

Maybe if you just added a pointer to the "CREATE SERVER" command in
your definition of server_name it would provide a bread crumb.
Oh, I see my mistake. Maybe the inclusion of a link to "CREATE SERVER"
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/sql-createserver.html in the
server_name definition would be helpful, just like in the data_type line.
I was having trouble making the leap since the idea was a new one on me.
different topic 1:
When I put the word "foreign" in the search area on this page
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/index.html
it does not find create foreign table.
different topic 2:
Is there a way to know what chapter you are in when on any page of the docs?
Maybe add to the navigation line at the top:
Home -> Documentation -> Manuals -> PostgreSQL 9.1 -> PUT YOUR CHAPTER HERE?
like this:
Home -> Documentation -> Manuals -> PostgreSQL 9.1 -> I. SQL Commands
Import Notes

Yes. AFAICT, somehow that search has become hopelessly broken. It
doesn't seem to find anything. I am pretty sure that it did before.

That's not a bad idea either.

I have done as you suggested with the attached patch which will appear
in Postgres 9.3.
