Using Yahoo! or Google search bar instead of search.cgi

The recent mail about not being able to find the status reports page
points out how useless our search box is.  In this case a search for
'status reports' will have the correct link in the third position,
which is actually better than most queries.  There should be loads of
'status reports' anchor text pointing to that page so more advanced
search engines would rank it first.

Is there any reason not to ditch search.cgi and move to a Yahoo!
search bar for the site?
