not sure I understand - but the docbot database is totally seperated
from the documentation search. The docbot database is basically the
database the IRC bot uses and is maintained independently from the other
search indexes. The live on is getting a lot of updates(though thois
particular omission just got fixed) on a regular base but I'm not so
sure how current the database the website uses is.
