Some fancy pants screwed help.ubuntu.com search again.
It request from me to allow google.com javascript to rum on my browsers
and I definately will NOT ALLOW IT.
Therefore, help.ubuntu.com is NON-FUNCTIONAL site.

I just tried to do searching on help.ubuntu.com
and it would not give back search results,
since I am totally unwilling letting google.com java scripts run on my
machine.

Ubuntu help, naming, help.ubuntu.com should not depend on Google for
search, it is quite disgusting depending on some company's service for
internal OS documentation.

If there is no resources, will or project space do do search buy self,
then search results should be send and received to used searching
help.ubuntu.com, WITHOUT sending information to GOOGLE.com about WHAT
acually user is searching on help.ubuntu.com, it is concern of
help.ubuntu.com, not Google and it's intrusive databases about WHAT
Ubuntu users are searching.
That is private user information, not Google's property (see
scroogle.org for info)

And at the end, if anything above IS rocket science and/or not
understood by Ubuntu community, maintainers and/or Canonical itself
about how to protect and save users,
WHY (OH WHY) hel.ubuntu.com maintainer forces me to use Google java
scripts again, to retrieve help.ubuntu.com results.

I would just say that Google is personal information-hungry company and
I ABSOLUTELY do NOT allow google.com Java Scripts to run on ANY of
browsers on my machine (See NoScript.net for Mozilla Firefox and
Seamonkey and NOscripts I think, For Chromium - Chrome is Google
intrusive privacy-infested)

The reason I personally use gmail is beside point.

I will simply do not allow google.com javascript that is used on wide
variety of web pages to TRACK MY MOVEMENTS AND SEARCES over sites, even
I do not use Google.com for search directly.

If help.ubuntu.com is becoming Google-infested phishing site please say
so, if not,
please at least leave us from need of using google.com Java Scripts on
help.ubuntu.com like it was solved before!

Thank you and please DO something about it.
