It still does, as far as I can see. I just googled for "dict
comprehension", and the vast majority of results in the first
10 pages relate to Python.
By page 20 it's starting to wander off a bit, but you can
hardly blame it for that. There *are* non-Python web pages that
mention the words "dict" and "comprehension", and how is Google
to know that you don't want those if you don't tell it?

Seems to me Google was doing a rather *bad* job if you had
to wade through 500 pages of results to find what you wanted.
I would never have the patience to do that!
Anyhow, the reason Google got brought up was that you were
complaining about difficulty of finding things in the Python
docs. Google *does* turn up the relevant part of the docs in
the very first page of results, so being able to do a direct
text search on the docs wouldn't do any better.
