I ran into that the other day when I needed to look something up for
CGI.  Couldn't find it for the life of me.  Then I selected 'modules'
instead of the default 'all' for the search, and tried again.  And lo,
that did the trick.  I swear it used to work if you just left the
search params at the default of 'all'.
