Note that we do have a search box (powered by Google) at the top of every page on moodle.org ... it's actually pretty good and searches docs, forums and tracker.

I'm not opposed to a knowledge-base search (of Moodle Docs) in the forums here to try and prevent some people posting (by directing them to related pages in the docs first). It's a good idea in principle.

It's just not cheap to implement.

Firstly we'd have to hack Moodle forums with extra AJAX or an extra step in posting (between submit and post). And we'd have to develop some sort of API for MediaWiki for this code to talk to, and we'd have to implement all kinds of relevance algorithms to make it anywhere near effective.

Secondly we'd have to maintain this hack over time and make sure we had enough hardware resources to support the constant searches every time someone wanted to post here.

Right now we're already pretty short-staffed just working on Moodle 2.0 and 1.9.x so this sort of thing is kinda low on our priority list, especially since we have a global site search already ...
