Perhaps the search should be redesigned with stuff like that= in mind? (Or maybe the search is more advanced than I use it). They aren'= t exactly warts, it's useful information, but in the common case they proba= bly aren't desired (I always use Google to search around the python docs). Not to mention that the search is slooowwww. It's plenty fast on my local= download, but I haven't actually looked at the search to see what it does= and how. -- = Corey Richardson "Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves" -- Abraham Lincoln --=-1310695305-913905-2093-8194-1-= Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJOH5+JAAoJEAFAbo/KNFvph6MH/123dtVlaqpszJN4LG1LviEh V5GgBI8MkqPK+yZ7DAcXcRPKxrBXR2lES0lcF/4jf+DT4ZXEoM2FM04ahskeNtf2 EgTMow/tw6gdRZw6QrDsmJyySesFoagRiA896oSaYrGzbe4KjYeptX+XPQCs4zdL AYaR5w2dVNhs49gHWqJ8aeVHkAc35SSRcIfHkLgrz67O783UgsJppEQQUXshGzLt GRyqtemszFGdXorm+1PVf37s4cmfI+neD6/kz9IKxcoBjt564LpphQ9EYWhZaClj RzhPJb1TzTAnpaIEZepKtL9gHFiIuvYTyFfyiYsJ5lc0hUtwz9bvMQUqj70t2sk= =DDLx -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-1310695305-913905-2093-8194-1-=--
