Google site search costs 2000$ for 500,000 searches per year and 750$ for 150,000 searches so its quite expensive.
Also the print function only comes in the third result (python 3.2)
if you search for "site:docs.python.org/release/3.2 print" the print function is not found at all.
I think a specialized algorithm would work better.
I'm going to code an program for this.
