Not really - I just tried to use both systems to find the string formatting
specifiers (something which I always have trouble finding in the standard
docs). web.pydoc.org didn't find it for me (using "string format",
"formatting", "format", etc). Thomas' system found it for me immediately
using "formatting".

Thomas - this is wonderful :)
