Can't get there from here.  Even Google only allows this sort of thing
by doing an "OR" search.

However, you could do a search for "pmwiki/ main homepage" and you'd
get pretty close.

Edge case.  Right now what the search does to the page text is convert all 
instances of "{{free link|s}}ages" into "FreeLinks free linkages", in order
to be able to find both interpretations of the link.  I guess I should
have it leave the original markup in the search text as well...?
