Using Google it took me about 3 seconds to find the page.
"python report doc bug".
Works with Bing or DuckDuckGo too. First hit on either engine.
The doc's search is ... fine if I search for e. g. 'subprocess.Popen',
but near-useless for general searches.
The link is also on the main documentation page, but it is, again, near
the bottom, making it hidden from >many users. Both of them show up just

The first of the issues may be difficult to fix,
Is it?
You'd just have to have an additional search box labeld "search whole page
with google/bing/whatever" (?)

That's great Terry, but how will the next person find the link?
