Hi!
It seems that non-JavaScript solution still is not working.
(Not implemented yet)
As I see, That google page would be right temporary solution
untill solution with displaying non-javascript search results
inside help.ubuntu.com is devised.
It doesn`t use any user-side javascript from google.com
,even if it forces me to go back to customized google.
Maybe that page redirection should be implemented as the first
short-time solution to non-JavaScript problem. (Matt?)
For future reference, I think that using JavaScript directly from
*.ubuntu.com should not be the problem for a user.
