I don't see why it's "obviously" something they can configure, if
you mean it's easy to do and they're prepared to do it for us. I
suspect that they're just recording historical data on searches,
or looking for similar words that matched the found documents and
a lot more, or something like that. However, a request to have them
always suggest PostgreSQL when someone types in postgres might be
worthwhile, if we decide we really want to stick with PostgreSQL
for ever and ever.

I don't think it's likely we'd ever achieve that on a broad basis.
There are just too many search engines out there....
