Hey Stefan. Here's my suggestion:

Until the Grand Overarching Documentation system is available, you could do 
worse than a custom Google search engine. This lets you add a few selected 
sites to index, and you don't therefore have to qualify the search with 
"julia" or "julialang" all the time. (Thus you won't have to keep visiting 
the pages of Julia Lang or seeing fractals all the time...)

I'm not a big fan of the Google, but it doesn't work too bad and I can't 
see too many downsides with having something like this on the main Julia 
site for now.

Here's a quick demo I mocked up. I'm sure someone could do something more 
impressive with the Google Search Engine API 
(https://developers.google.com/custom-search/docs/overview).
