If you leave off the (:searchresults:) directive, the various
searchboxes won't be filled in. When you run a search, the particular
searchbox that you used will appear on a reposted page with the same
type of formatting that you would find if you used the standard
searchbox. While that may not be what you wanted, it will be more
familiar to users, who won't have to deal with different searchboxes
reporting their results in different ways

I would also be interested in finding a way to limit searches to
specific portions of a page or, in your case, the values stored in a
specific page variable.
