I searched the same term using kagi.com and first results are exactly what the author expects. Link: https://kagi.com/search?q=python+float&r=us&sh=cDUw0QAZf3DUs...

Even searching 'float' on docs.python.org brings descent results.

At first the author complains about bad search implementations on the documentation sites and then judges Python by the bad google results.

Python stdlib docs are totally fine, too.
