Yeah, that works and I could find Hillbilly Elegy (film). The text was 
fine but the 'Accolades' table was garbled. It came up on the Netflix 
recommendations and I watched it last night so when it said 'Search' I 
wanted to see what it would do. It came back with links to the book, the 
film, the Vances, and cast member bios.  It's a subset of the Wiki 'Search 
in..' but still impressive. 

Python certainly will get the job done either on the client or server 
side. Being retro tech should make life easier than some of the web 
services frameworks.
