I just landed the initial version of search on the FF3 branch.  Usable here:

https://www-firefox3.stage.mozilla.com/en-US/search/

(links will go to www.mozilla.com)

Some thoughts:

Search results could use tweaking.  This is a pretty open ended problem, but the first hit for "firefox" probably shouldn't be /firefox/all-beta.html

Search results are only in English right now (except by accident, like the ebay pages).  This is caused by several bugs:  1) The crawler only crawled English because no English pages link to non-English pages.  2) The search is restricted to the domain it's on.  That means if the search page was localized in to German, searching from de.www.mozilla.com would only give stuff from de.www.mozilla.com.  Our never-realized global load balancing idea strikes again.  3) There are a few English strings in the XSL file

Obviously we need some CSS work.  Steven, I'm happy to adjust the default classes, ids, etc. on any of the elements.  I'm using the code for the next/prev links from http://search.oregonstate.edu/web/?query=test (scroll down) so if we had some images to add for the defaults, it would be great.

The string "This XSLT is © A9.com, Inc; see full details." is at the bottom of the page.  That's part of the CC license for the XSL we're using - it's also on http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Special:Nutch?language=en&start=0&hitsPerPage=10&query=&fulltext=Search.  It doesn't feel appropriate for our .com site.  We can write our own XSL if we want - we'd have to change it anyway for the L10n stuff.  How high of a priority is this?

I expect to split these all out into separate bugs to track.  Feel free to add comments here, file your own bugs, or wait till I file the bugs above and comment on them. :)
