Add a mailing list search box to the FAQ and Search page

The page already linked to the genome mailing list archive, but a link out
to Google Groups is easy to miss next to the four search boxes in the same
column, and you still have to start the search once you get there. This adds
a box alongside the others that hands the query to the group's own search.
