 Sometimes, when I open a link, I get the link with a

 engines wont spider me and I don't want to track my visitors.

The wiki uses a session cookie to deal with logins primarily. PHP's default settings for its session cookie stuff is to _also_ put crap in your URLs if the cookie's not present, which causes no end of trouble. To get rid of the URL crap but keep the cookie, set "session.use_only_cookies" to 1 in your php.ini (or use ini_set or such).

If you aren't ever going to have logins, then you don't need it at all. Find the session_start() etc in Setup.php I think and comment those lines out.

 My next question: I want to add a Google search form at the top
 of every site (http://www.google.com/intl/en/searchcode.html#both)
 I tried to just edit the LanguageDe.php since it contains the
 static text on the sites, but it didn't work out. Is the
 Skin.php the template? I couldn't figure it out how to add the
 html code there.

Skin.php is hella ugly, sorry.

You probably want to be looking at Skin::doBeforeContent() or so. A lot of stuff gets cut out of the printable version, of course.
