Apologies Jason, it is a small HTML error in the page. The form at the top
that you were using has this:

 <form> <input type=text name=sid size=15><input type=submit
 value="search"></form>

As you can see, there is no action specified for the form. It should be
something like this:

 <form action="/cgi-bin/sigs-search.cgi"><input type=text name=sid size=15>
 <input type=submit value="search"></form>

Which is used in the form on the lower left column of the page.

I'm passing it on to the mercurial webmaster, Mr Caswell.
