@Heiko,
While I agree with your concern regarding google I don't think an arch 
forum search reveals too much sensitive (personal) info or any at all.
And in this case there's the additional benefit as mentioned above that 
google search doesn't cause additional server load.
Actually in my early days I tried to use forum search, too but then 
realized the issue you faced and also found that google would give me 
better hits.
