"where it says" URIs -- now running code

Once upon a time, a long time ago, I made a plea for a URI form that
would compose document identification with text-search within the
document.

It finally dawned on me, having belatedly come around to using the
site: modifier in Google searches, that the site: qualifier can be
carried to "ridiculous lengths" to generate a URI that yields a
summary of the cited resource focused on the other search terms.

For example, here is a URI that works as a good bibiligraphic
reference to "the 'frontmatter' concept as it is used in the Standard
Talking Book markup vocabulary."
