This adds a button to the left of the search field to modify what is searched. A number of the searches rely on Google, as the BBC's searches are not terribly effective.
This is as much a proof of concept as anything else, but will not effect the standard usage of the BBC website - the search will still work as normal, if you don't choose otherwise.
This only works on pages that use the new 'Barlesque' header (e.g. iPlayer, News, /programmes, /topics, /doctorwho etc). The old 'Barley' headers aren't touched.
Suggestions are more than welcome! Screenshots can be seen on my blog, www.edwinlyons.com.
