Hi,

  if I search for "sys.argv" I get


Your search did not match any documents. Please make sure that all words
are spelled correctly and that you've selected enough categories.

but its available at: http://docs.python.org/3.0/library/sys.html

You should have searched for "sys argv" since "sys.argv" is not 'a
word'.  However, that would not have worked since multiple word
searching seems to be broken, at least sometimes.  In particular,
searching for 'argv' gives several hits, including the one you wanted,
as does searching for 'sys', but 'sys argv' does not.  I tried another
example using two words from a particular doc and got a similar failure.

Thanks for the report, searching for dotted identifiers is implemented
now in the trunk version of Sphinx.
