It seems that the search index is broken for at least a few
documentation file releases:

ok: https://docs.python.org/2.6/search.html?q=comprehension&check_keywords=yes&area=default
not ok: https://docs.python.org/2.7/search.html?q=comprehension&check_keywords=yes&area=default
ok: https://docs.python.org/3.2/search.html?q=comprehension&check_keywords=yes&area=default
not ok: https://docs.python.org/3.3/search.html?q=comprehension&check_keywords=yes&area=default
not ok: https://docs.python.org/3.4/search.html?q=comprehension&check_keywords=yes&area=default
not ok: https://docs.python.org/3.5/search.html?q=comprehension&check_keywords=yes&area=default

(ok = "/reference/expressions.html is found")

Interestingly, these URLs give different results, e.g.

ok: https://docs.python.org/release/2.7.1/search.html?q=comprehension&check_keywords=yes&area=default
ok: https://docs.python.org/release/2.7.2/search.html?q=comprehension&check_keywords=yes&area=default
ok: https://docs.python.org/release/2.7.3/search.html?q=comprehension&check_keywords=yes&area=default
ok: https://docs.python.org/release/2.7.4/search.html?q=comprehension&check_keywords=yes&area=default
ok: https://docs.python.org/release/2.7.5/search.html?q=comprehension&check_keywords=yes&area=default
ok: https://docs.python.org/release/2.7.6/search.html?q=comprehension&check_keywords=yes&area=default
ok: https://docs.python.org/release/2.7.7/search.html?q=comprehension&check_keywords=yes&area=default
ok: https://docs.python.org/release/2.7.8/search.html?q=comprehension&check_keywords=yes&area=default
not ok:
https://docs.python.org/release/2.7.9/search.html?q=comprehension&check_keywords=yes&area=default
not ok:
https://docs.python.org/release/2.7.10/search.html?q=comprehension&check_keywords=yes&area=default

Looks like something changed between the 2.7.8 and 2.7.9 release.
