Paul, Our search engine has been down for some time, and we have received a number of complaints that finding information on the public Web site and mailing lists is difficult as a result. We are currently investigating a solution that is more effective than our previous search facility. The Team decided that, until we have a long-term solution in place, it is so important that people be able to search the public Web site and mailing list archives, that we are willing to live for a short time with the Google logo on the home page (see part 3.3 of their terms and conditions [1]). This situation is temporary.
