With the current scheme, search.ubuntu.com can search both the official 
and unofficial help pages, or just the official pages, and be confident 
in both cases of returning results that are actually intended to be 
help. With the original scheme, this wasn't practical, because 
wiki.ubuntu.com was a mixture of help and non-help documents.

(Currently search.ubuntu.com is accessible only through Yelp, and 
nevertheless includes results from wiki.ubuntu.com. These are both 
known bugs.)
