Speaking of that, I noticed a problem a few days ago related to the
scope of the search.
You can reproduce it this way:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/index.html
Search for alter table for example:
http://search.postgresql.org/www.search?ul=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.postgresql.org%2Fdocs%2F8.1%2Finteractive%2F%25&fm=on&cs=utf-8&q=ALTER+TABLE
You have 91 results and especially the results from the documentation.
But when you click on the search button again on the results page, the
ul parameter is not here anymore and you have pretty bad results:
http://search.postgresql.org/www.search?cs=utf-8&fm=on&gr=on&o=0&ps=20&s=rate&q=ALTER+TABLE
We have only 15 results and the documentation is not there.
So we should probably keep the ul parameter in the new form when set in
the query string but I don't understand why we don't have the doc
results when ul is not there and I suspect the search should be global
in this case.
