As I said it's a known problem, but then so are the 4600 bugs at

Because it's supposed to be the first place new (and old) users go to
find their answers.
Because the work-around isn't published right *there* where people who
aren't 'in the know' would expect to find it.
Because it looks kind of sketchy that the search function of the main
documentation section of *the* primary web site for a programming
language doesn't work right, and hasn't for some time even though its a
'well-known' issue because it isn't considered a sexy enough problem to
be addressed.
In my mind, that doesn't say very many *good* things about that language...
And before you say, 'Go for it, fix it yourself'... I'm one of those
new-ish folks myself, and you probably don't want me tinkering around
anywhere near the guts of any search engine ;)
