I like the links, but ....

Could you increase the space between the "Get Boost" box and the
"Search" box?  Or perhaps make the "Search" text be the same style as
"Get Boost".  My initial reaction was that I had to do a search in order
to get boost (and I couldn't see why).

Actually, I think I would organize it as "Get Boost" and "Search Boost"
with the drop down having options "All Boost", "Documentation", and
"Mailing Lists".

(Actually, I think I'd like the links a slightly darker blue - but that
is very much a matter of taste)
