Seconded! -- even if it's just for modules, this would be great.  

I can't count the times I've wished I could type e.g.,
'docs.python.org/httplib' the way I can type 'php.net/array_search' to
try to find out whether the needle comes before or after the haystack.

Either name is better than "shutdown"!
