Thanks Nils - that did it :-) I had to 'edit' your code a bit but the theory was spot on.
It now looks like this:

[code]

<p>
Google Kubuntu-users mailing list Search
</p>
<form action="http://www.google.com/search" method="get">
<p>
<input type="text"   name="q" size="31" maxlength="256" id="kubuntu_list" />
<input type="hidden" name="as_epq" value="kubuntu-users+mailing+list">
<input type="hidden" name="as_sitesearch" value="lists.ubuntu.com">
<input type="submit" value="Search" />
</p>
</form>

[code]

Many blessings,
