If you do anything to change the Google logo, they'd have to approve.  Of
course, you could make it an image button, but then it doesn't look like a
pokable button.

I think that anything beyond searching the python.org domain or the entire
web should go on a separate search page.  As I wrote to Tim in an email
off-list:

    In general, people know what simple search boxes are for.  If there's no
    web vs. site radio button, the implication is that they search the site
    (or perhaps all sites in the domain).  If there are a pair of radio
    buttons they select between searching the web or the site/domain.  If
    you add other semantics (how will you tell them "search" is a special
    token?) I think you'll just confuse them.
