Hmmm, that search pattern is wrong there -- there needs to be
a '?' after the '+', otherwise the pattern is too greedy and grabs
much more than just the (:search:) directive.  Try:

    Markup('search','_begin',
      '/\\(:search\\s*(.+?):\)/e',"search('\$1')");

Also, I think that putting this rule so early in the sequence ('_begin')
is probably not a good idea -- it might fit better in the 'directives'
section.
