Yeah, this is a limitation of Sphinx that hopefully will be fixed.  In the
meantime, w3m to read the HTML version does work pretty well and supports
search (plus has an index that makes it pretty fast to find particular
sections).  But I did the same thing you did, and definitely want to fix
this sooner rather than later.
