Hello all.
I'm not sure if this is the right list to post this, but I'll give
it a shot here, and see where I should report this.
The problem seems to be the website's hosting, which appears to be
provided by Google, which blocks access from certain countries in
accordance with US law (with the error message "403. That’s an
error. Your client does not have permission to get URL / from this
server. That’s all we know."). This would not surprise me if
LilyPond was not a GNU project, but it's a bit off at the moment,
to say the least.
What I would want to know if this is something the team cares
about, and where I should discuss this.
Thanks,

I could be mistaken -- I often am -- but...
I suspect it's merely that the site is designed to construct search
queries using Google as the default search engine -- along with
Google's option to limit the search to a particular site. This saves
the maintainers from having to install a search engine and keep it
updated.
(One other negative consequence of this setup is that it randomly
chooses the version of documentation -- e.g. If I am on a
.../doc/v2.20/... page and search for a term, it will happily offer up
a match from .../doc/v2.22/..., .../doc/2.18/... or whatever else it
finds.)
No - it's hosted on Google currently.
