Readers of the Hebrew Wikipedia report that the search box doesn't work in IE6. essentially, they currently cannot use the sreach function and are unable to reach their desired article. Searching the English Wikipedia works.
If something's broken on Hebrew Wikipedia but works on all other wikis (check Arabic or another RTL language in particular), it's likely to be a local script issue.
This problem occurs in other RTL projects as well.
It seems the problem resolved since the update to MediaWiki 1.17.
