If you use FireFox and surf over to http://people.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ you will 
see that if you click on the search engines menu, you will be able to add a 
new "FreeBSD PRs" search to your list of search engines.  This is done via an 
OpenSearch xml file (people.freebsd.org/~jhb/FreeBSD_PRs.xml) and the 
following in the <head> of my index.html:

<html>
  <head>
    <link rel="search" type="application/opensearchdescription+xml" 
title="FreeBSD PRs" href="FreeBSD_PRs.xml">
    ...
  <head>
  ...
</html>

The way this search works is that you can type a PR number (or cat/number, 
such as kern/12345) in the search box and it will pull up that PR.  Does 
anyone else find this useful?  If so, I think it would be neat to add it to 
either the front page (you can have multiple searches for a page, so we could 
also add a generic FreeBSD.org search too if desired), 
http://www.freebsd.org/support.html, or 
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr-summary.cgi?query.
