Laying QuickSearch to rest

Gentlemen,

How would you feel if we quietly sent QuickSearch off to be with its 
forefathers?

Now we have a more usable query.cgi, and Myk's full text searching 
stuff, it seems much less necessary. It's always been a bit of a hack, 
having arcane syntax, requiring JavaScript, not being very well 
integrated, and all that sort of thing.

The person who wrote it, Andreas Franke, hasn't been around for a while, 
and it hasn't really been maintained.

(This thought occurred to me as I was about to convert the quicksearch 
HTML pages to page.cgi pages.)
