Very cool, Daniel!  I tried searching for some generic
items that had been discussed in the mailing lists
recently and got *no* hits.  Is it because the search
takes time to activate or is there a robot/spyder prohibition
or something else?

One thing that would be useful from the pdl.perl.org searches
would be information that would be useful for various completions
for the Perldl2 shell.  Right now things are pretty much the
generic completion which is not that helpful since if you are
command completing in pdl2, you probably want to have a PDL
command/method as your first choices...

Another nice completion would be for documentation searches
which is where a log/feedback of searches in the PDL docs
would be *very* informative.
