Docs site will give weird search results

Hi IRC ops,

The new docs site available at http://docs.fedoraproject.org includes
major changes in the organization of docs.  The search feature on the
site may not be fully functional for some time.

Search engines will need to recrawl the site and reindex the content.
It is not possible to rewrite all the URLs required to redirect site
visitors who have old links, because of the number and complexity of
rewrites.  When a user hits a "no such page" (404) error, they are
redirected to the top-level welcome document, and on the sidebar the
visitor will find a much more functional menu of documents to browse.

IRC operators may to check any important links they use appearing on
the docs.fp.o site to make those links work as they expect.
