Search on some content in the search bar at the top of the bugzilla.org homepage
All the links reported (at least the ones I trieD) point to bugzilla.org instead
of www.bugzilla.org, and timeout.

I understand this may be google's problem, not a problem with the bugzilla
website, but the net effect is that the bugzilla.org search functinoality does
not, in the end, allow users to search the site contents.

Workaround: navigate the site, or use the cached page versions from google's search.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit bugzilla.org
2. In search control, enter serach string, i.e. "css print"
3. Click search
4. Attempt to follow any of the results

It works fine.  The site was down for an hour or so earlier this afternoon, and
I'm sure it was then that you were trying.

Just to clarify, www.bugzilla.org and bugzilla.org are two different servers,
and serve a distinct set of content.  If you hit either one of them with a URL
that points at content on the other it'll redirect you to the other one.

This is unavoidable at the moment because our main website and the email are
hosted on two different servers, and the stuff related to the mailing lists is
all on the mail server (which is bugzilla.org without the www, and is the one
that was down earlier today).
