Description

Add a search box to the right-top of the page, so simple queries can be performed without going to the search page. An OpenSearch plugin would be nice too http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Creating_OpenSearch_plugins_for_Firefox.

Put the file haiku.xml at http://www.haiku-os.org/haiku.xml and add the following line to the <head> section of relevant/all Haiku-OS.org pages. 

<link rel="search" type="application/opensearchdescription+xml" title="Haiku" href="http://www.haiku-os.org/haiku.xml">

for autodiscovery.

The title and URL need to match the ShortName and location of haiku.xml.

Is this is put on hold due to CMS complexity? If the functionality is desired one could in the meantime add an entry field/form which merely calls Google with "foo site:haiku-os.org". Not as cool as something local though, and there's missed intelligence opportunity for Haiku, but it may lessen the load/traffic (if that is or will be a problem post-release).

Is this what you're looking for?

This is being pushed forward because there are some major changes (behind the scenes) coming up. These will take precedence before we will implement new features.

Perhaps he means something like what we have in the NorCal HUG website?

If that's the case, it will be there once the upgrade to Drupal 5 is done. Actually, it is possible to enable the search box in our current website, but for some reason it is not possible to give focus to the search field using the mouse. Any ideas?
