Well, we're already using (very simple) JavaScript to clear the search
box upon focus, so I think this is okay.  And I know we want
Reinhold's AJAX search box for the docs, and that also involves
scripting...

Valentin, I've never used jquery before, but if you can implement
this, and the site is still functional with scripting *disabled*, then
I think we should definitely use it.

Thanks,
