It would be possible to do this but currently the search engine used is an 
external one and not very efficient, I did propose we change to Daniel 
Naber's Perlfect Search Engine that is used on  a few of the subdomains 
already including Usability but I didn't get much feedback.

I was referring to the breadcrumb menu here, a separate mail addressed the 
Location dropdown and Christoph has subsequently made that optional.
