 Consider this example:

 {{{
 sage: k3=graphs.CompleteGraph(3)
 sage: p3=graphs.PathGraph(3)
 sage: s=k3.subgraph_search(p3)
 sage: s.size()
 3
 sage: s==k3
 True
 }}}

 The docs say that s should be a copy of p3.  The problem is that
 subgraph_search returns an *induced* subgraph of the bigger graph with the
 vertices of the copy of the smaller graph.

 Steve Butler suggests that instead, we copy the smaller graph and relabel
 the vertices appropriately, using the vertices returned from
 SubgraphSearch.  I like that solution.
