For example, I try to use that phrase:
>d programming language sha256
I needed only sha-256 library for my course work. Only. Don't ask 
me why :)
And I really don't know: is there RIGHT library or not? And there 
are a lot of noise in google results. There're much noise and 
there're few common cipher libraries.
If I know - there aren't another libraries - I'll try to fit 
existance libraries for my purposes.
If I know - there is library more fitted for my purposes - I'll 
look for that.

It's very easy add to web-page:
bozf4qy (or something else)
And all problems about search are solved: you will look only for 
D2 libraries and solutions.

Why not?
