I know this might be more www than docs, but I'm not on that list...
It appears that the search box uses % and _ as wildcards. This is fine
(though we should make mention of it since people are probably more used
to * and ? in search boxes, even if they are DBAs), but the problem is
it doesn't seem to allow escaping them. For example, search on
'pg_stat_activity current_query'.

Try searching "pg_stat_activity" "current_query" instead.

Guess we need an 'advanced search' or 'search help' link...
