Digging up this discussion again. Has anyone got further thoughts on how 
this can be done?

Background: our customers install various tools, applications and 
extensions, and they all have their own sphinx docs to describe them. I 
would like to have a webview in our primary tool which finds all in the 
sphinx docs that have been locally installed, and provides a single search 
across all these documents. The objects.inv file in each html sphinx output 
seems to only hold tagged items in the document, and doesn't contain a 
complete index of the entire document. I guess the search-within-a-doc 
javascript actually fetches each of the rst files and does a search within 
them for the search term. Is this the case? Are there any Python packages 
that essentially do the same? Of course I could write my own, but it looks 
like others have similar needs.

Thanks in advance,
Luke Tunmer
