Search box errors

Hello all,

Apologies if you've been getting an error page when trying to use the search box. I'm not sure what's wrong but I'll investigate and fix it as soon as possible.

Update: Well, I've managed to fix the search box on the Q&A blog, but then I realized that I had the search box on a bunch of pages on the rest of the site (the static, non-blog pages) and I'm going to have to update those. It's going to take a while!
