+1 there - current docs should be searched unless you specify all/older
docs. Maybe old docs can be included in the archives section, which the
link isn't overly clear that it is the mail archives.

I reckon the old search showed 3-4 lines in the 'preview' of the
listing, now we only get 1 which sometimes wraps partially onto 2.
Personally I preferred having 3-4 lines in the results - it can be
easier to pick out the page that you are searching for without going there.
One thing that I have seen on a few searches (eg. yahoo cached pages) is
when you follow a link it then highlights the search criteria on the
page. Would be a nice feature to quickly find the search result on the
destination page.
I found a little error in the page coding calculations -
Search for create
it states "Pages 1-20 of more than 1000." - that's ok
if you go to page 50 you get "Pages 981-1000 of more than 1000." - fine
then on page 51 you get "Your search for create returned no hits."
search for 'select' or 'update' gets the same thing. It would seem that
you have a 'limit 1000' which gives the 'more than 1000' in the hits
description but it generates an extra page (51) that tries to fetch
1001-1020
