Description

See Issue 1405 - this allows users to search the site as well as the docs, and improves the way that Google is used to search for docs. In the first instance this will mean that the English site gets a different search from translated sites. Once this is pushed, we will need to get translations for the "Search site" and "Search docs" phrases, and I will try to put the language phrase into the search box automatically, rather than having a lot of near identical search-box.ihtml files.

What about searching all docs and website by default, but adding
something like "advanced search" where one can set what he wants to
search?
If not, i guess that searching stable docs + website would be ok (if
it's possible).
