My wife has been through this with a 2 month consoltation period and 4 months notice - as she was in sales and the company closed the department nationwide that meant 6 months gardening leave.
So as not to have the problem of being offered a job before the end of this period she only started looking in the last month. Thankfully she was offered 3 jobs within a month of finishing. My point here is that if you take a bit of time for yourself and then start looking and you are lucky you shouldn't be redundant for too long, and employers expect you to have a notice period so don't expect you to start tommorow.
The job she took was the result of putting herself up on several job sites, definatly worth doing yourself as you have a lot of skills and experience in your field.
