Power Search
Since I got no feedback about the extended search on Lee's test site, I
went ahead and put it into the CVS. It is also running on
de.wikipedia.org now.

All it does is append a form at the end of the search results where one
can choose to search other namespaces, as well as turn off redirects as
results. Both functions were requeseted on the lists. Not very pretty,
but a start.

Thanks Magnus, it works fine! I really missed this.

Well, I never heard about it so...

Cool! I've installed it on the other wikis. Localized strings will have
to be done at some point, it shows up in English in the meantime.

FYI, there's a funny interaction between the sidebar and tables with
"width" specified in Internet Explorer; 'width=100%' makes the table as
wide as the entire browser window, not just the wrappable area, and it
overlaps the sidebar or even runs offscreen.

Since this was just an area with a border and background color, I've
replaced it with a <div> tag which seems to work more cleanly.
