Broken again. The "Search the documentation for Bugzilla version X" form at the bottom of the page at https://www.bugzilla.org redirects to /docs/https://lists.bugzilla.org/cgi-bin/htsearch which is "Not Found"

I didn't bother to install it when we moved mailman to the new server because I thought it wouldn't be so long getting the main website moved and were just set it up on the new server. So right now it's not even there.

Anyway we can farm this out to say Google or other search tool? Most of the docs up to 5.0 are on the bugzilla.org server directly. We could just tell Google to start at the /docs level I assume. Maybe even combine the results with results from readthedocs.org.
