Typing haskell.org takes you to a page which has a search box at the bottom, so if the user doesn't look at the browser address bar (which does display http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Haskell, indicating that you are inside the wiki), it is reasonable to suppose that the search box will search the whole site. I think it would be good to have multiple buttons, eg "Search haskell.org" (includes next two), "Search HaskellWiki", "Search mailing lists".
