Hi (I supposed this is mostly targeted at Bill),
While reading Tim Berners Lee's Principles of Design, I came to remember one thing related to this site: why are we using POST on the search script? According to good practice, the search has no side-effects, so it should be using GET.
So in the case noone objects, I suggest this patch (hope it doesn't wrap incorrectly):
