This page doesn't ask me for login.

This is something you should complain about to Google.  That bloody
thing, as good is it might be, is still not that good at mind reading,
and presenting you the exact information you want, and only that
information, even when you provide ample information about what exactly
you are after, like in your case with even *two* words.  ;-)

This also doesn't happen for me.  I get a page with search results (long
link, might be broken into more than one line in Email):

https://pylint.readthedocs.io/en/latest/search.html?q=pylintrc&check_keywords=yes&area=default
