I have a version that allows searching the docs by utilizing google.com, but unfortunately google license prohibits querying google from a program :( Is that so ? If yes, then we'll have to remove scripts/google.py from the Python distro. On http://www.google.com/webmasters/dos.html it says in the "DONT" section: "Send automated queries to Google in an attempt to monitor your site's ranking."

That just means that you shouldn't use cron jobs and the like; it's perfectly fine to have a human-initiated automated interaction.
