Some fancy pants screwed help.ubuntu.com search again.

As I understand it, we implemented a method of search on
help.ubuntu.com for users not willing to use javascript in response to
Marko's previous complaint about the subject.

This was done in revision 39 of the help wiki theme and is also
present in the help.ubuntu.com static html as this code:

          <noscript>
            <form action="http://www.google.com/cse" id="cse-search-box">
              <div>
                <input type="hidden" name="cx"
value="003883529982892832976:e2vwumte3fq" />
                <input type="hidden" name="ie" value="UTF-8" />
                <input type="text" name="q" size="27" />
                <input type="submit" name="sa" value="Search" />
              </div>
            </form>
          </noscript>

I do not know much about how this works, but as far as I am aware,
that still results in data being sent to Google, it just doesn't use
javascript.

Marko, whether or not your complaint is a valid one, your language and
tone is absolutely unacceptable on this list. If you continue it, you
will be banned from posting again.
