[SciPy-user] suggestion for improving http://www.scipy.org/

Recently I wanted to find out 'Can scipy generate a random variable
from a power law distribution'.  So I went to the site, and
searched for 'power law random'.  Yow. 445 hits, none of which
appear to have anything to do with generating random numbers,
most of which are the empty home pages of people like me who have
just joined the community.  Searching for 'power and law' did not
help.

So -- 1. is the search engine broken, or do you all know something I
don't?  2.  Any chance of implementing a specialised search for
'Can Scipy do this?'

Thanks very much for your time,
and for scipy,
Laura Creighton
