Hey Dick and all,

that's odd. I tried searching with
   site:www.python.org/doc/
and
   site:www.python.org/doc
but neither gave hits. :-(

 From the "Department of there has to be a better way, but . . . ",
try entering something like this into the google search box:
   site:www.python.org inurl:tut string

That will search www.python.org pages with 'tut' in the url that have 
'string' in the page body. That doesn't restrict it to 2.4, or non-dev docs.

My best attempt:
   site:www.python.org inurl:tut -inurl:dev inurl:current string
still pulls up hits like <www.python.org/doc/2.2.3/tut/node10.html> 
which don't have 'current' in the url. And, adding inurl:node to the 
suggested search yields no results, either. I'm not sure why. :-|

So, none of this gets you there, but it does get you closer.

<http://www.google.com/help/operators.html> shows how to use some of the 
more esoteric google operators.

You might also check out (and maybe improve)
