What you prove here is certainly a good start; however the focus of it 
is clearly the developer of the search form.

What the authors of the bug had in mind was probably something more 
along the lines of:

http://www.google.ch/help/basics.html

or

http://www.google.ch/help/refinesearch.html

The focus of those documents is the end-user, not the developer of the 
search form.

I'll provide such a page shortly
