It is, though I just have a visceral reaction against seeing a Windows logo
on Wikipedia. Microsoft's goals and policies are the opposite of ours, and
it's just jarring to see their logo.
To be honest, I do wonder why we have the external search buttons
there *at all*, with or without links...

That's a pretty good reason, since it's our policy and all...
I think it's worth distinguishing here between "in the site content"
and "in the site infrastructure", and ask ourselves to what degree
policies applicable to the *content* apply to the site hosting that
content. "It isn't in the article namespace" - the standard complaint
- is a bit of a silly test to use on something that is, to all intents
and purposes, not in *any* namespace...
