Is it just me, or is everyone aware that the Ruby main search is broken  
on

Here’s what I keep getting for even simple searches like “uninstall”

Application error (Apache)

Change this error message for exceptions thrown outside of an action  
(like in Dispatcher setups or broken Ruby code) in public/500.html
