How in the fuck did you find that, and where is the rest of the text on the page?

There's a search field on the front page. The rest is blank because I used the (default) "exact match" option, so the rest of the page is (by random chance) filled with spaces. The search function presumably uses knowledge about the algorithm used to generate the pages to locate a given string in a reasonable amount of time, rather than naively looking through each page.
