I tried a couple of small "web front ends" using the more common engines
(IE, mozilla etc) and they work ok

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.
