When I looked at Yahoo! search last (probably ~6 months ago) it was only possible to set it to limit the first search to freebsd.org, but subsequent searches where generic, which is not really optimal. For reasons, which has been discussed many times before, I don't really think using Google search is an option. It would be great if somebody could improve our current search solution which, despite wosch's hard work on it, still seem to have problems often. Rambler has also offered that we could probably use their system for search, but unfortunately I haven't had time too look more at that. -- Simon L. Nielsen
