[OPEN-ILS-DOCUMENTATION] Documentation Search, limit to documentation

Hello, I've found it confusing that the google site search that is in the header of the HTML version of the documentation searched the whole http://docs.evergreen-ils.org site, and not just the documentation that I'm currently viewing.

Would it be possible if the searching for each version of the documentation was limited to only that version?  If I'm using the search while I'm in version 2.6, then I'm expecting to just see results for that version.  Right now I see results for all versions available, in all formats.  So I'll get hits for the PDF version as well as the same info in the html version.  To me in makes the results redundant and less useful.

I can fix this manually when I need to by using the "site:http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/2.6 <searchterm> -filetype:pdf" format, but it would be nice if this was the default.  I cannot think of any reason to keep the PDF results in there since it is all redundant.

Maybe it could have radiobutton options under the search box to change the scope.  "X 2.6 docs only  O Entire Site  O Site + Wiki + Listarchives"

Thanks
Josh
