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. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
