   Some quick comparison:

   $ curl -s http://static.rust-lang.org/doc/master/std/search-index.js | wc -c
   501867
   $ curl -s http://static.rust-lang.org/doc/master/std/search-index.js | gzip -c -9 - | wc -c
   84310
   

   We can also consider adjusting the index format to exploit deflate/LZ77 algorithms if we want to optimize that further. (Unlikely, but just a possibility)

   It appears that gzipping manually may be the only way to do this: http://stackoverflow.com/a/5447158/1256624

   Doesn't seem like rust-lang.org is using cloudfront, but rather just hosts on S3? In which case, that may not work.

   The best solution might be the answer further down, since it won't break on safari and mobile browsers and such.
