Thanks for the feedback.
Yes, the rank is the number of hits on a page. For an interesting
example, try searching the word "data" and every page will be
returned. I agree that returning the modules' page first would be
ideal, but until all the pages are updated and their titles are
changed to reflect something other than "Reference Guide", etc. this
is going to be impossible. This is one of my goals, but I want to get
the style decision made before updating content. In terms of
browsers, I have tried this with Netscape 4.x, Netscape 6.x, Mozilla,
IE 5.x and it seems to work fine on all so far.

Dear David
I just tried the version you uploaded, very nippy, and personally I
don't think either a 1MB index or using javascript are problems. The
ability to search the docs far outweighs the hassle of upgrading the
browser if necessary.
It was unclear what the ranking scheme refers to: "hit relevance" or
"number of hits". Clearly relevance would be preferred. If the rank
is the hits per page/document I think it should be clear that this
is the case. Lastly, if the search phrase is the name of a module,
returning that modules' page first would be nice.
