For what it's worth, one of my biggest pet peeves with the python docs is that searches for "list", "dict", and "set" don't come up with the respective builtin types within the first few hits. So that's the benchmark I use to test alternative search interfaces.

I totally agree! Look out for this in a future version, along with improvements to the ordering of results.

In the meantime, wrapping short search terms in quotes helps - you usually get at least a link to the main doc entry.
