Just one additional case in point on this:

I just did a search on zope.org using the little search box, I typed
in, very simply:

dtml-in

and I got NO results.

Now I have also taken the URL I got earlier with the how-tos links on
them and imported them into a postgres database, I have done a search
for the EXACT same thing, and I got back a page and a half of URLs.
Now, one might say, "yeah, but how many of those are worth anything
with such a generic query?" Well, frankly, I'd rather take my chances
of finding the info I want in 100 links then with none.

Will you loan me $20.00 and only give me ten of it?
That way, you will owe me ten, and I'll owe you ten, and we'll be even!
