Searching Drupal

Recently the search box disappeared from the main site, Drupal.org.
It was very confusing especially for those of us that are not checking for updates every day.

Apparently the Drupal homespun search engine was pretty slow anyway and not able to handle the increase in traffic as Drupal becomes more widespread.

If you need to search Drupal, my favoured method is to use Goopal (a combination of Drupal + Google!) or you can just use Google with the site:drupal.org suffix in phrases
