Most of the pages do not seem to be updated.

The drop down in the search fields looks very bad in Safari on OS X. I 
think this is a general problem with bootstrap. I remember having the 
same problem when I used bootstrap. In general I recommend using either 
Boostrap Select [1] or a Bootstrap drop down button [2]. For this 
particular case I recommend using either a field with a button with a 
drop down [3] or placing a magnifier icon to the left inside the search 
field and make a drop down menu out of that icon. The latter option is 
usually how native search fields look like and work on OS X.
