I could not use your site (e.g., search box) because it requires running JavaScript code that is not free software. Since a nonfree program disrespects the user's freedom, I decided not to run it. See http://gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.html for more information, and please make your JavaScript code free.

JavaScript is a foundation of the web. Sorry this doesn't align with your idealistic values, but we'll see no change here.

The web should be unknown and mysterious to its users, using them however it sees fit.
