Yes, that's what is going on here.  If one does a search from any page that
has a (:searchresults:) directive on it (which PmWiki.ChangeLog does
at the moment), then instead of getting the normal search results
page contents we get the current page back with the (:searchresults:)
directive replaced by the results of the search.  This allows authors
to create custom search results pages.  

Unfortunately, the ?action=search code doesn't (yet) understand
escaping of (:searchresults:), and so even the search results are
being suppressed.

I'll fix the ?action=search code to be smarter about finding
(:searchresults:) directives, and we need to make sure that
any instances of (:searchresults:) in the ChangeLog (and other
pages) are properly escaped.  

We probably need to do a search for (:searchresults:).  Boy, does
that sound scary.  :-)

Will do.  A quick way to have a page get my attention is to
put an [[!Update me]] category tag on it.  :-)
