You would have urls in on the page that when you clicked them executed the search. They can click a link right? One for google, one for duckduckgo, one for xxxxx

Well I would really prefer the "Getting help" part Like on the Druid page, without the listing of people and their companies, if it was in line with the ASF bylaws. The reasoning is that we are also targeting people who are completely new to Open-Source and the idea that You have to "work for the information". You might laugh, but having a "please type this into google" sort of thing would probably annoy them more than not having this at all.

On a page /commercial-support you explain the general principle that the ASF is a vendor neutral place and favors are frowned upon. 2. On that page, recommend the user to instead use their favorite search engine to look up (e.g) "plc4x_commercial_support" to find companies that provide such. 3. People here would know, and can imply, that their own landing pages for commercial support should contain that word for customers to find them.
