There is no function "sage_search", which is surely causing a lot
of confusion here.

There is a function search_src that searches the sage *source code*
(not the documentation) using grep. That's what Daniel is asking
about.  I think it would be really cool if possible to make it so one
can search the sage source code from sagemath.org.   One could
have full text search of:

    * just the sage library
    * sage library and all math components of sage (pari, maxima, etc)
    * all components of sage (including python, etc.)

I think this would be a great project for somebody to implement.
Volunteers?
