I'm not sure what you get in windows python, or what the MSDN index
looks like, but I generally use the index for the library reference
when searching for something in python:

  http://python.org/doc/2.3.5/lib/genindex.html

That's for python 2.3.  There are equivalent places for 2.2 or 2.4.
On a debian box with python2.3-doc and apache2 installed, you can see
the same thing at

  http://localhost/doc/python2.3-doc/html/lib/genindex.html
