Ueber-cool.  Here's a search I tried to perform but couldn't figure
out how to make it work:  I want all pages in the pmwiki group that
link to the HomePage page in the Main group.

At first that seems simple, but we have two syntaxes referencing a
page within a group and I wanted to find occurences of both.

Search				Result
pmwiki/main/homepage		PmWiki.FreeLinks
pmwiki/main.homepage		PmWiki.CreatingNewPages, PmWiki.TipsForEditing

How do I get the union of those search results?

"pmwiki/main/homepage main.homepage" gives 0 results as does 
"pmwiki/main/homepage pmwiki/main.homepage"

And maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I can't seem to search for
"{{free links}}" and turn up anything useful.

So ... are these edge cases or conscious design choices?
