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.
