You seriously want this in the header of every webpage?!

We still have a searchform at search.postgresql.org. To search
mainliglists, click Archives search. You can select a list, or a group
of list, there. Or just search them all.

Now, the generic website search could be expanded to let you search
different parts such as the docs, but we cannot possibly do that on the
searchbox in the header.
