In Numpy SVN/1.1 there is a function "lookfor" that searches the
docstrings for a substring (no stemming etc. is done). Similar 
"%lookfor" magic command got accepted into IPython0 as an extension
ipy_lookfor.py. Improvements to these would be surely appreciated.

I think that also Sphinx supports searching, so that the generated HTML
docs [1] are searchable, as is the generated PDF output.

   So far, this preview contains only docs for ndarray, though.
