It's just a simple matter of writing, editing, proofreading, feedback, etc.
Given the current documentation set, does it appear what you're looking for
is mostly a reorganization of the existing content?

You gave the example of searching for "array".  That happens to return
something very useful because it maps directly to a section of the PHP
manual.  I tried searching for "float" and "string" but got much less
on-target responses.  When I searched for a term and selected selected the
"online documentation" search category it did a Google search, which is what
the search box on docs.python.org does.
