Added a new search option to the website. The first search option, still available on some pages, was a front-end to Google's database of the website.

This worked fine, and is still the preferred option for image searches, but it depended on Google's schedule of indexing so it was frequently a week or two out of date.

The new option is from the same developer, but it uses a MySQL database to index the website, so I can control the indexing schedule and it's very fast.
Give it a try and see.

Finally implemented sitewide search tools on the pages with text, though it will search the whole site using Google's engine. Try it and let me know if it works for you.

Tidied some of the commess I have going on in the two sidebars on this page, so hopefully it will load without timing out on those IE browsers behind corporate firewalls. I'd appreciate some feedback on that too.
