You're all absolutely right. The search engine there.

The problem I see is that when people see a header "Documentation" and want 
to search this documentation, they do not start looking for a search engine 
elsewhere... otherwise they would have gone to Google in the first place...
I've been webdesigner for several years now; this is what I experienced... I 
am just trying to give some feedback on how the website may be improved...

Egon
